Authors' conclusion

Patients with MSCAC showed a positive correlation between the SHR and MACCE rate over a 3-year follow-up period. The study showed that an SHR value of 0.83 is the key threshold, indicating a poor prognosis. Future large-scale multicentre investigations should be conducted to determine the predictive value of the SHR in patients with MSCAC.
