Abstract:
Objectives: The SYNTAX score (SXscore) has emerged as
a reproducible angiographic tool to quantify the extent
of coronary artery disease based on the location and
complex-ity of each lesion. The aim of this study was to
evaluate whether the SXscore is an independent predictor
of no-reflow phenomenom and long-term cardiovascular
outcomes in patients presented with acute ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with
primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).
Methods: A total of 760 patients with acute STEMI
who were subjected to pPCI. Patients were categorized
according to their TIMI flow grade into: normal flow (TIMI
3) 657 patients (86.4%) and noreflow (TIMI 0,1,2) 103
patients (13.6%) and according to Syntax scores into: mild
(0-22) ➔ 292 patients who constituted 38.4% of the study
group, moderate (23-32) ➔ 338 patients who constituted
44.5% of the study group, severe (>32) ➔ 130 patients who
constituted 17.1% of the study group.
Results: There were significant differences among the
normal flow and noreflow groups with respect to age, basal
glucose levels, and the incidences of diabetes mellitus,
Killip class, onset of presentation, TIMI risk score and
previous use of statins. There were increasing rates of
culprit left anterior descending lesion (P < .001). No-reflow
phenomenon was correlated to SYNTAX score, (r value .682,
P value <.001). At longterm follow-up, all-cause mortality,
non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, rehospitalization
due to heart failure, and the need of revascularization
were significantly more frequent among the patients in
the noreflow group and highest SXscore. In multi-variate
analysis, after including the SXscore as a numerical variable
into the model, every point of increase was determined as
an independent predictor for long-term mortality (hazard
ratio [HR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.139-2.95, P
.013) and for overall major adverse cardiac events (MACEs;
HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.33-1.56, P < .001).
Conclusion: The SXscore is an independent predictor
of noreflow and MACE in patients with acute STEMI
undergoing pPCI.
