Following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction, some patients are readmitted with potential ischaemic heart disease symptoms. This study investigated the proportion of PPCI patients readmitted due to potential ischaemic heart disease symptoms within six months, and the cause of symptoms and associated factors.
