In line with the preventive angioplasty in myocardial infarction (PRAMI) protocol11 the study participants underwent standard care follow-up led by the attending physician. Routine stress testing was not performed and instead stress tests and repeat revascularisation during follow-up were clinically indicated based on a history of angina in line with contemporary guidelines.
*The follow-up interval is from randomisation to 1 December 2015.
CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
