Aims and objectives
Syntax score is an algorithm for grading coronary artery disease (CAD) and includes anatomical components,
such as: total occlusion,
bifurcation,
the presence of thrombus,
calcification,
the condition of small blood vessels. This assessment evaluates the risk of coronary disease occurrence and adverse cardiovascular events after percutaneous or surgical revascularization.
Such an assessment of CAD helps to better predict the risk of new cardiovascular events after percutaneous or surgical revascularization.
Therefore the objective of this study was to identify the relationship between the severity of coronary angiographic disease expressed by Syntax score and the occurrence of cardiovascular disorder in patients following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
