Predictive Value of Platelet FcγRIIa in Patients Treated With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Compared With Medical Therapy Alone After Myocardial Infarction

Circ Cardiovasc IntervPublished prospective, noninterventional trial

Authors' conclusion

Quantifying pFCG discerned the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events among patients treated with medical therapy alone or PCI. This prognostic information will be useful for clinical decisions that balance ischemic and bleeding risk.

Study context

Population
Patients hospitalized for type 1 myocardial infarction (MI) (ST-segment-elevation and non-ST-segment-elevation) with at least 2 of: aged ≥65 years, multivessel coronary artery disease, prior MI, chronic kidney disease, or diabetespatients in the trial, subgroup analysis of patients treated with PCI or medical management alone
Participants
800 patients
