Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Having Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (the Cholesterol Paradox)

The relation between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been described. A total of 9,571 eligible patients (mean age 62.6 ± 12.5 years, 6,967 men) who underwe...

Zusammenfassung:	The relation between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been described. A total of 9,571 eligible patients (mean age 62.6 ± 12.5 years, 6,967 men) who underwent PCI with a final diagnosis of AMI from the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) were divided into 5 groups according to LDL cholesterol level:
