Brief summary
The SYNTAX-score has been proposed as a tool for risk stratification and guiding revascularization therapy in patients with complex coronary artery disease. There are limited data on the prognostic value of the SYNTAX-score among elderly patients. Aim of this study was to investigate whether age modifies the impact of the SYNTAX-score on all-cause mortality at 2 years after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Detailed description
SYNTAX score has been used as a tool to quantify severity of coronary artery disease. Interventional or operative treatment of patients is associated with improvement in SYTAX score after PCI so called residual SYNTAX score. The higher the SYNTAX score value the higher is the mortality. Whereas this is true for both young and old patients is debatable. Therefore we aim to investigate in this registry age-dependent impact of baseline and residual SYNTAX score on 1- and 2-year mortality after PCI
