Why the study?
Identifying high-risk ACS patients undergoing PCI is crucial, and the study aimed to evaluate the routinely available PR interval for predicting MACE.

May support PR interval for risk stratification in ACS-PCI; leaves open incremental value and needs prospective validation.
Does the PR interval predict major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention?
A shorter PR interval on admission ECG is an independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI.
