This highlights the need for serial ECGs in acute coronary syndrome as initial ECGs may be near normal even in those with severe disease. Classical electrocardiographic pattern in left main coronary artery disease is ST elevation in aVR with extensive ST depression in other leads, most prominent in I, II and V4-V6.

The primary endpoint consisted of a composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina. The results advocate for considering PCI as a treatment option for such plaques, potentially expanding the indications for PCI in coronary artery disease management.
