| Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) were followed during hospital stay: cardiovascular death, reinfarction, target lesion revascularization (TLR) and stent thrombosis. Patients were evaluated for BARC-defined (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) bleeding adverse events. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at discharge. In time intervals of one month and six months after STEMI, patients were classified into four subgroups according to severity of angina based on the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classification. The arterial blood pressure, heart rate and BMI were measured and ECG performed. MACEs and BARC complications were noted. Additionally, six months after the procedure, laboratory tests (haemoglobin and haematocrit levels, leucocyte and platelet count, glucose, urea and creatinine levels, total cholesterol and hsCRP levels) and treadmill stress test were performed. LVEF was evaluated at six months by TTE. Follow-up coronary angiography was performed in all patients after six months. Angiographic parameters were measured and evaluated off-line by an independent investigator using Syngo quantification software (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). | — |
