(Total of 63 patients had coronary angiography).
CVO = Culprit Vessel Occlusion, STE = ST segment elevation, STD = ST segment depression.
^aThe denominator here is the total number of AMI patients who had a catheter study (ie. 45 patients).
^bThe denominator here is the number of patients who had follow-on PCI during the index coronary angiogram (34 patients).
^cSuccessful PCI was defined as TIMI-III flow and absence of re-occlusion during the index hospital admission.
