Implication
Multivessel CAD may flag higher-risk AMI patients after primary PCI; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve reperfusion and outcomes.
Structured PICO
Does multivessel disease affect reperfusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary PCI for AMI?
P
Population
Patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction
I
Intervention
Presence of multivessel disease (extensive CAD in vessels remote from the infarct-related artery)
O
Outcome
Reperfusion success and clinical outcomes
Multivessel disease in AMI patients undergoing primary PCI is associated with reduced reperfusion success and worse prognosis.
