  *Hypotension = systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg for at least 1 hr requiring inotropic  
  support or intra-aortic balloon pump support within 24 hr periprocedurally.  
  **CHF = congestive heart failure class III/IV by New York Heart Association and/or  
  history of pulmonary edema. ***Contrast-induced nephropathy is increase in serum creatinine >=25% and/or >=0.5 mg/dl at 48 hours after PCI vs. baseline.
