Study flow chart of the present study.
From consecutive 873 PCI cases, we excluded non-ACS cases (n = 514), cases without venous blood samples (n = 106), and patients with exclusion criteria (n = 49). Finally we analyzed available 204 ACS cases. PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; ACS, acute coronary syndrome; H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori; NSTE-ACS, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome; STEMI, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
