In the RAFT trial, 1798 patients were enrolled by February 2009. The primary outcome was death from any cause, and the secondary outcome included a composite of death, heart transplantation, or ventricular assist device implantation. Out of 1798 enrolled patients, 1050 were included in the long-term survival analysis.

Patients who underwent PCI from 2009 to 2017 were identified from our institutional National Cardiovascular Disease Registry (NCDR) CathPCI database. Design This was an observational retrospective cohort analysis. Patients were stratified by pre-PCI LVEF: preserved (≥50%), mildly reduced (41%–49%) and reduced (≤40%) LVEF.

Methods This study included 2,195 incident STEMI cases that occurred between 2009 and 2017, recorded by the population-based Augsburg Myocardial Infarction Registry, Germany. Therefore, this study aims to clarify if there is any difference in long-term survival between anterior- and non-anterior-wall STEMI.
