Total Occlusion of the Infarct-Related Artery in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)—How Can We Identify These Patients?

<i>Background and Objectives:</i> Regardless of the improvement in key recommendations in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), the prevalence of total occlusion (TO) of infarct-related artery (IRA), and the impact of TO of IRA on outcomes in patients with NSTEMI, remain uncle...

In-hospital and one-year mortality were significantly higher in the TO group than the non-TO group (2.8% vs. 1.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.007 and 18.1% vs. 6.5%, <i>p</i> < 0.001, respectively). The independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at admission (OR 0.768, <i>p</i> = 0.004); and TO of IRA (OR 1.863, <i>p</i> = 0.005). <i>Conclusions:</i> In the population of patients with NSTEMI, TO of IRA represents a considerably frequent phenomenon, and corresponds with impaired outcomes. Therefore, the utmost caution should be paid to prevent delay of coronary angiography in NSTEMI patients with impaired left ventricular systolic function, metabolic disturbances, and a family history of CAD, who are at increased risk of TO of IRA.Irmina MorawskaRafał NiemiecMaria StecKarolina WronaPaweł BańkaAndrzej SwinarewMaciej WybraniecKatarzyna Mizia-StecMDPI AGarticlenon-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctiontotal occlusioninfarct-related arteryclinical predictorsMedicine (General)R5-920ENMedicina, Vol 57, Iss 1196, p 1196 (2021)
