Why the study?
Despite optimized treatment for STEMI, patients still die during invasive procedures or experience sudden cardiac arrest, prompting investigation into key risk factors.

Chronic renal failure and Killip class predict perioperative mortality in STEMI; hypothesis-generating for cath-lab risk stratification pending prospective validation.
What are the strongest risk factors for perioperative mortality and sudden cardiac arrest in the cath lab among STEMI patients?
Diabetes, previous stroke, prior MI, psoriasis, chronic renal failure, and Killip-Kimball class are strong predictors of perioperative mortality and sudden cardiac arrest in STEMI patients in the cath lab.
