Anatomic distribution of culprit lesions in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and normal ECG.

Abstract

Among patients presenting with NSTEMI, prior history of CAD, male gender and abnormal admission ECG were independent predictors of a culprit lesion. An abnormal ECG was significantly associated with two and three-vessel disease, while normal ECG was more associated with LCX involvement or normal angiogram. Admission ECG did not impact secondary outcomes.
