Background: The SYNTAX (Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score has emerged as an anatomical-based tool that quantitatively determines the coronary vasculature due to 9 criteria such as number, location, complexity, and functional impact of angiographically obstructive lesions. Because of the fact that the same study of this scoring system has not been performed in Iran, we aimed to do this study to predict the value of SYNTAX score on in-hospital outcomes after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients referred to Heshmat Hospital, Rasht, Iran.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study conducted at Heshmat Heart Center, Rasht, Iran. Patients admitted for elective or primary PCI of coronary arteries due to the acute coronary syndrome, ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and chest pain. Each patient’.. View More»
