Time-dependency, predictors and impact on outcome of infarct transmurality assessed by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with st-elevation myocardial infarction reperfused by primary percutaneous intervention

چکیده
Introduction Previous studies identifying predictors for transmural infarction in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) reperfused by primary percutaneous intervention (PCI), especially analyzing the time-dependency of transmural infarction, achieved inconsistent results and are limited due to small and highly-selected study samples. Furthermore it remains unclear whether transmural infarction assessed within the acute phase of STEMI is associated with adverse clinical outcome.

No-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, Treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Study of Predictive Factors
Introduction: No-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. Herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated early electrocardiographic findings in relation to left ventricular (LV) function, extent and size of infarction, and microvascular injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most used and simplest clinical method to evaluate the risk for patien...

BACKGROUND The presence of intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients reperfused by primary percutaneous coronary intervention has been associated with residual myocardial iron at follow-up, and its impact on adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling is incompletely understood and is investigated here. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-eight ST-segment-elev...

Background and Objective: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is caused due to coronary artery occlusion and divided into two forms of ST-elevation (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction. This study aimed to determine the success rate of treatment with primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) versus thrombolysis in the establishment of perfusion and to evaluate the sho...
