Does the Clinical SYNTAX Score predict long-term prognosis better than the anatomical SYNTAX score in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
The Clinical SYNTAX Score, combining anatomical and clinical variables, is an independent predictor of long-term adverse events and may be superior to the anatomical SYNTAX score alone in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
