摘要: Background Unlike ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, the degree of stenosis and physiology ischemia varies in patients with non–ST-segment infarction (NSTEMI). The prevalence, predictors, outcomes NSTEMI who lack significant epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD) routine clinical practice remain poorly characterized. We sought to determine insignificant CAD. Methods analyzed 38301 CRUSADE quality improvement initiative underwent cardiac catheterization prevalence factors associated CAD (all stenoses Results A total 3306 (8.6%) had strongest multivariable predictors were female sex (odds ratio 2.8, 95% CI 2.6-3.1), younger age per 10-year decrease 1.5, 1.5-1.6), current/recent smoking 1.9, 1.7-2.0). Inhospital rates death 0.65% for compared 2.36% ( P Conclusion Insignificant is present 9% a low incidence adverse outcomes. are age. These findings underscore need research understand pathophysiology this population.
