ST-Segment Resolution as a Marker for Myocardial Scar in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Clinical studies found that poor ST-segment resolution (STR) in electrocardiogram (ECG) occurred in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), arrhythmia and heart failure was significantly higher . In clinical work, in patients have poor ST-segment decline, the investigators found by CMR-LGE the corresponding myocardium become thinner and other signs of myocardial scar.
The investigators aimed to establish whether poor ST-segment resolution in ECG, as well as CMR-LGE, could detect the presence of myocardial scar in early STEMI patients. In order to provide convenient, cheap and widely used test method for patients who cannot tolerate CMR-LGE.
42 STEMI patients with single-branch coronary artery stenosis or occlusion were enrolled. ST-segment elevations were measured on the baseline and 24 hours after PCI. The study population was divided into two groups by late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE- CMR), with transmural myocardial scar (>75%) or non-transmural myocardial scar (<75%).

ST-segment resolution <40.15% ST-segment resolution <40.15% |
Diagnostic Test: ST-segment resolution <40.15%
Forty-two STEMI patients with single-branch coronary artery stenosis or occlusion were enrolled. ST-segment elevations were measured at emergency admission and at 24 h after PCI. Late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR-LGE) was performed 7 days after PCI to evaluate myocardial scars.
