Logistic regression analysis and backward stepwise approach were taken to select the correlation factors. The left and the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) analysis were plotted to observe the discriminative power of the SYNTAX score (SS)\/caFFR-guided functional SS (FSS<jats:sub>caFFR<\/jats:sub>) on the incident VT\/VF.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>About 58 (8.2%) patients experienced life-threatening VT\/VF.

The ROC analysis showed that the discriminative power of FSS<jats:sub>caFFR<\/jats:sub> on the incident VT\/VF was significantly better than SS (0.759 vs.0.695, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.0001). Patients with VT\/VF were categorized into 2 groups according to the interval between the onset of AMI and the VT\/VF.

Compared to SS, FSS<jats:sub>caFFR<\/jats:sub> has a higher correlation with VT\/VF, and FSS<jats:sub>caFFR<\/jats:sub> was demonstrated to be an independent correlation factor of incident VT\/VF
