Results
The Syntax score average value was 14.7 ± 6.9. Low values (<22) were present in 42 patients,
mean value in 9 patients,
and no patient had values higher than 33.
Side cardiovascular events were recorded in 7 patients,
where 2 patients had repeated infarction and revascularization,
and 5 patients developed cardiac weakness. None of the patients died. There was no significant correlation between Syntax score and left ventricle remodeling or the occurrence of cardiovascular disorders.
Adverse cardiovascular events were associated with Killip class ((r=-0.269,
p=0.056),
left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.269,
p=0.056) and the TIMI flow rate (r=-0.611,
p<0.001).
The independent parameter that was associated with the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events was inferior TIMI flow 2 (p<0.01). The main finding of this study is that there was no correlation between the angiographic parameters expressed by Syntax score and left ventricular remodeling or the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events.
However,
left ventricular remodeling and the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events has been associated with a worse Killip class,
anterior myocardial infarction,
lower ejection fraction,
worse index of mobility of the left ventricle and lower TIMI 2 flow.
