BACKGROUND Patients with delayed presentation of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) frequently have a poor prognosis but literature about acute complications in intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) and in-hospital outcome are still limited. METHODS All STEMI patients admitted to our institution between June 2007 and December 2013 were divided into patients presenting more than 12 h after symptom onset (lateSTEMI) and within 12 h (STEMI). Baselines clinical features including details about treatment of choice were collected. Major acute complications in ICCU and in-hospital mortality were the main end-points. RESULTS A total of 1372 patients were included, 147 (10.8%) were lateSTEMI. In ICCU lateSTEMI patients compared with STEMI patients experienced more frequently heart failure (75, 51.2% vs. 298, 24.3%; P
