Impact of left ventricular ejection fraction and medication adherence on major adverse cardiac events during the first year after successful primary percutaneous coronary interventions

Abstract

The findings suggest that the classification of high-risk patients after percutaneous coronary intervention need to be based on level of preprocedural left ventricular ejection fraction. Follow-up of these patients may include educational interventions to enhance medication adherence, to decrease the prevalence of major adverse cardiac events.
