Standard modifiable risk factors among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: prevalence and impact
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs), including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and smoking, are prevalent among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to assess the prevalence and impact of controlled SMuRFs in patients undergoing PCI. METHODS: Data of patients who underwent PCI at a single tertiary-care centre between 2012 and 2023 were analysed. SMuRF control was assessed using pre-procedural measurements: systolic blood pressure
