Popis: Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) in a non-infarct-related artery (IRA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with a poor prognosis. However, whether the prognostic impact of non-IRA CTO differs according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is unclear. Methods and results: A total of 2060 consecutive acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were classified into 2 groups according to their LVEF (reduced EF: LVEF < 50%, preserved EF: LVEF ≥ 50%) and further subdivided according to the presence of concomitant non-IRA CTO. In the reduced EF group, patients with CTO had a higher 1-year all-cause death rate (20.3% vs. 34.3%, P = 0.001) and major adverse cardiac event rate (MACE: 19.6% vs. 39.6%, P
