AIMS: Emerging data show that complete revascularization (CR) reduces cardiovascular death and recurrent myocardial infarction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the influence of revascularization status on development of arrhythmia in the long-term post-STEMI phase is poorly described. We hypothesized that incomplete revascularization (ICR) compared with CR in STEMI is associated with an increased long-term risk of new-onset arrhythmia. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) at Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Denmark, with CR or ICR were identified via the Eastern Danish Heart registry from 2009 to 2016...
