  "abstract": "BACKGROUND: Although Achilles tendon thickening (ATT) is associated with poor prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), its impact may differ between acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively analyzed 1,362 patients after PCI. ATT was present in 228 patients (16.7%) and associated with more 3-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (P<0.001). The association was pronounced in ACS patients (P=0.001), whereas in CCS patients, ATT showed a non-significant trend toward a higher incidence of MACE (P=0.066). CONCLUSIONS: ATT may be a simple, non-invasive marker for risk stratification after PCI, particularly in ACS patients.",
