The implementation of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly improved the clinical outcome of patients admitted for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 However, some patients still develop recurrent adverse events, with a negative impact on survival. Accordingly, we analyzed the data from the REAL (Registro Angioplastiche dell’Emilia-Romagna) registry in order to evaluate the 3-year readmission rate for cardiovascular causes and their influence on death.
