Résumé
The main aim of this study was to investigate the relation between anterior tragal crease (ATC) and coronary artery lesion complexity and severity assessed using the SYNTAX score (SXscore) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). A total of 121 patients with a first-time diagnosis of NSTEMI were consecutively enrolled. ATC was defined as ≥1 crease that was close to the tragus and descended anteriorly. SXscore was calculated using the SXscore algorithm. The SXscore was higher in the ATC-positive group than in the ATC-negative group (11.85 ± 8.20 vs 7.52 ± 6.38,
