Management and long-term outcomes of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: The SCALIM registry

CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 1 in 20 patients with STEMI has CID. We found no effect of CID on long-term survival. However, patients on corticosteroid therapy appeared to have higher rates of death during follow-up. Whether this finding is related to the use of corticosteroids or to the more progressive nature of their condition warrants further investigation.PMID:36372664 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2022.09.003
