Patients with acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs) present as persistent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or as non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). In some patients with STEMI, ST elevations are transient and resolve before coronary intervention (transient ST-elevation myocardial infarction [TSTEMI]). We analyzed our registry comprising all consecutive patients with AMI admitted during 2009 to 2014, and compared the characteristics, management, and outcome of patients with TSTEMI with those of patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. Of 1,847 patients with AMI included in the registry, 1,073 patients sustained a STEMI (58%), 649 had a NSTEMI (35%), and 126 presented with TSTEMI (6.9%). Patients with TSTEMI were younger than patients with NSTEMI and STEMI (56.5 vs 62.8, p
