The progress which has been made in interventional cardiology contributes to the gradual improvement of the results of CHD (coronary heart disease) therapy. The aim of the study was the assessment of early and long-term prognosis in all the patients with CHD treated invasively in one large-volume PCI center in 2005. 1390 consecutive patients with CHD treated with PCI in 2005 were included in the analysis. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) accounted for 50% of cases, patients with stable angina (SA) amounted to 25%, and patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) constituted 25%. Mean follow-up was 738 (±237) days. The highest mortality during the hospitalization was noted within the STEMI group(SA vs. NSTE-ACS vs. STEMI; 0% vs. 0.3% vs. 4.1%, respectively; p
