Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive risk-assessment model including lifestyle, psychologi-cal parameters, and traditional risk factors to deter-mine 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 char-acteristics, lifestyle, psychological, and MACE infor-mation 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). Pri-mary percutaneous coronary intervention was the most prevalent type of coronary revascularization (81.9). In case of baseline psychological characteris-tics, 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 psycho-logical factors, will lead to better identification of car-diovascular disease patients at risk of developing MACE through comprehensive risk-assessment mod-els.
