Irrespective of conventional risk factors and angiographic findings, ST-segment category at initial presentation is associated with the persistency of widespread coronary disease activity following presentation in ACS patients undergoing PCI. This may partly explain the time-dependent differences in outcomes of patients with STEACS and NSTEACS.
