Brief Summary

this study aims to assess the short-term (3-month) clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of primary PCI among STEMI patients from rural versus urban areas in Upper Egypt. A special focus will be placed on identifying predictors of MACE. The findings may offer valuable insight into optimizing STEMI care pathways and support the development of regional STEMI networks across Egypt.

Conditions

MACE; In STEMI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),

  Unite of measurement : Number of patients experiencing MACE (% of total)

  3 month

Interventions

Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) DEVICE

A catheter-based invasive procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 90 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

patients Confirmed diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) based on ECG and cardiac biomarkers.

You may qualify if:

• \. Adults aged ≥18 years. 2. Confirmed diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) based on ECG and cardiac biomarkers.
• \. Underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within the study period.
• \. Known and verified residential address classified as rural or urban based on official definitions (e.g., UK or WHO classification).
• \. Informed consent obtained

You may not qualify if:

• Non-STEMI or unstable angina cases.
• Patients who received fibrinolytic therapy instead of PCI.
• Transfer from another facility after more than 12 hours of symptom onset.
• Patients with previous revascularization (e.g., CABG or PCI within the last 6 months).
• Incomplete clinical data or unknown residential location.
