Abstract
The TRI was a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in a broad population, with a positive association with the risk of death due to mechanical complications and an inverse association with deaths due to recurrent ischemia. The enoxaparin strategy was superior to unfractionated heparin in a majority of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, except for the group at the highest risk for severe mechanical complications, in whom the 2 anticoagulant strategies showed similar results.
