Furthermore, the present study demonstrated the following: 1) As patients with STEMI require emergency clinical judgment and treatment more frequently than patients with NSTE-ACS or stable CAD, ELC is highly significant from the perspective of easily detectable physical signs; 2) The anatomic severity of CAD was assessed by calculating the RSS, which is reported to be an independent risk factor for requiring an intra-aortic balloon pump during primary PCI, increased in-hospital mortality, and poor long-term prognoses ( 12 - 14 ).
