Default whic one is the best way to express.

"They reported significantly inreased 1-year mortlaity in patients with periprocedural CK-MB elevation eventhough who had successful angiographic result"




"they reported a significantly increased 1-year mortality in patients with periprocedural CK-MB elevation despite angiographic success."






is there any differences in terms of meaning, which one would you preffer if you were instead of me.



regards

Neither of them are correct:

"They reported significantly inreased 1-year mortlaity in patients with periprocedural CK-MB elevation, even those who had a successful angiographic result."

"They reported a significantly increased 1-year mortality in patients with periprocedural CK-MB elevation, despite angiographic success."

I have corrected the grammar in both. I would choose the first one because the second seems to focus on the success of the procedure rather than the result.

Nothing to add to what Mike wrote, but I have one tiny point drhy: "if you were instead of me" should be "if you were in my place" (with stress on the "my").
