In the current literature, it has been widely demonstrated that the extend of coronary atherosclerotic burden is associated with adverse long-term outcomes. Little is known about the impact of atheroma burden and either myocardial reperfusion and short-term outcomes after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Several angiographic scores have been used to measure the extend and severity of coronary atheroma. The SYNTAX score and the Gensini score have been shown to be independent predictors of cardiovascular events and mortality in stable coronary artery disease as well as in myocardial infarction. This research therefore aims to assess the impact of overall coronary atherosclerotic burden, measured by two angiographic scores (SYNTAX score and Gensini score), both before and after primary percutaneous angioplasty, in patients with STEMI according to different clinical subgroups.
