In-hospital outcomes in metabolically healthy and unhealthy individuals over 65 years of age with obesity undergoing percutaneous intervention for acute coronary syndrome: A nationwide propensity-matched analysis (2016–2020)

The obesity paradox in patients with coronary artery disease is well established, but the role of the metabolic syndrome associated with obesity is not well studied. Our study aims to evaluate the in-hospital outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in metabolically healthy individuals with obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy (MUHO) individuals with obesity over 65 years of age with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) between 2016 and 2020.
