  • Absence of satin use, preprocedural hs-cTnI, and major PMN were significantly associated with major cardiovascular events; these factors were then put into the multivariate model together with age, sex and log-transformed NT-proBNP.

  • NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide; hs-cTnI, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I; PMN, procedure-related myocardial necrosis.
