AWESOME day at the Alerus!!

Total thrombotic occlusion of the left circumflex (LCX) artery may present without ST-segment elevations; the clinical outcomes of such patients remain unclear. Our objective was to examine the difference in clinical outcomes between patients with acute myocardial infarction due to LCX occlusion or stenosis with and without ST-segment elevation. Our study is based on an observational, retrospective cohort comprising all patients admitted to 2 centers between 2009 and 2019 with MI due to LCX disease. Clinical outcomes included recurrent percutaneous coronary intervention, hospitalization due to acute coronary syndrome, and mortality.
