🚨 New insights from The Lancet 🚨
A major individual-patient-data meta-analysis (6 RCTs, 8,836 patients) shows that complete revascularisation in acute myocardial infarction significantly reduces cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, and recurrent MI. 💓📉
Benefits were consistent across age, sex, STEMI/NSTEMI, and lesion characteristics — strengthening the case for a more comprehensive approach beyond the culprit lesion alone. 🔬🩺
A powerful reminder: treating the whole heart saves more lives. ❤️✨
