This study aims to provide a comprehensive risk-assessment model including lifestyle, psychological parameters, and traditional risk factors to determine the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with the first acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction episode. Patients were recruited from new hospital admissions of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and will be followed up to 3 years. Clinical and paraclinical characteristics, lifestyle, psychological, and MACE information are collected and will be used in the risk-assessment model. Totally, 1707 patients were recruited (male: 81.4%, mean age: 56.60 ± 10.34). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention was the most prevalent type of coronary revascularization (81.9%). In case of baseline psychological characteristics, mean depression score was 5.40 ± 4.88, and mean distress score was 7.64 ± 5.08. A comprehensive approach, focusing on medical, lifestyle, and psychological factors, will lead to better identification of cardiovascular disease patients at risk of developing MACE through comprehensive risk-assessment models. |
