Abstract

Introduction ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical condition affecting many individuals worldwide, posing significant risks to patient health and outcomes. Different types of STEMI, such as anterior wall and inferior wall STEMI, can lead to varying in-hospital outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Understanding these differences is crucial for improving patient care and treatment strategies.
