Objective: Although deaths due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have decreased in recent years, the mortality rate remains high, especially in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Syntax Score II (SSII) in predicting in-hospital and long-term mortality in octogenarians with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and to compare SSII with other risk-scoring systems.
