Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of various short term outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients presenting with first acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Department of Cardiology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Period: March 2024 to Aug, 2024. Methods: Evaluated Short-term Outcomes of Primary PCI in 124 STEMI patients at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Patients aged 20-65 years were included, while those with prior thrombolysis, stroke, or comorbid conditions were excluded. Outcomes such as cardiogenic shock, post-PCI angina, and mortality were assessed within 48 hours using t-tests and chi-square/Fisher’s exact tests. Results: The demographics and co-morbidities of 124 patients. Most patients were male (84.7%), with females comprising 15.3%. The age distribution showed 52.4% of patients were between 20-50 years and 47.6% were aged 51-65 years. Common co-morbidities included diabetes mellitus (75%) and hypertension (58.9%), while 51.6% of the patients were smokers. Conclusion: Our study confirms PPCI's efficacy in treating STEMI, emphasizing the need for continued risk management and lifestyle interventions to improve long-term outcomes.
