Early percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction reduces infarct size, prevents left ventricular remodeling, and improves long-term clinical outcomes.
mechanisms of early PCI in patients with AMI is that myocardial reperfusion of the infarction-related artery reduces the infarct size, improves LVEF, and decreases the mechanical stress on the non-infarcted myocardium, resulting in the prevention of LV remodeling. 5,6The annual number of hospitalized patients with AMI in Japan increases modestly according to data from the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases 7 R ecent studies have assessed the clinical question of whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome, compared with optimal medical therapies.These studies have shown that regardless of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), PCI does not reduce the mortality rate and only alleviates symptoms during the short-moderate term.1-3 In contrast, reperfusion with PCI improves clinical outcomes and reduces mortality rates during the long-term follow-up period in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).4 One of the beneficial
