Late percutaneous coronary intervention prevents left ventricular remodeling and improves clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common autosomal dominant disease associated with premature coronary heart disease (CHD). Studies tend to show that patients with FH associated with an identified mutation (mutation+ FH) are at higher risk than patients without an identified mutation (mutation- FH). We...
