063 Predictive factors of ST-Segment resolution after primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction

Effect of preinfarction angina pectoris on ST-segment resolution after primary coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction.

The presence of preinfarction angina has been shown to exert a favorable effect on left ventricular function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Whether or not preinfarction angina is beneficial for myocardial tissue reperfusion, however, remains to be determined. We sought to evaluate the influence of preinfarction angina on resolution of ST-segment elevation, which could be affected by m...

Risk Factors of Reperfusion Failure following Primary Angioplasty for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

BACKGROUND Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves outcomes compared to thrombolysis, a substantial number of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients do not achieve optimal myocardial reperfusion. This study was designed to evaluate factors related to suboptimal myocardial reperfusion after primary PCI in patients with STEMI. METHODS Totally, 155 patients (124 m...

ST-segment resolution after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Background: The association between ST-segment resolution and clinical outcome in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains unclear. Recent studies on the association between ST-segment resolution and mortality have given conflicting results. We undertook this study to assess whether ST-segment resoluti...
