Kassaian et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (n=1,799). Acute coronary syndrome was evaluated on 1-year postdischarge major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), defined as mortality (cardiac and non-cardiac), ACS and cerebrovascular attack. During the 12 months after discharge, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events occurred in 15.0% of Iranian patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome.
