Background In STEMI, grade-3 ischemia (G3) on admission ECG predicts larger infarct size (IS) than grade-2 (G2). We evaluated whether pre-hospital G3 and its temporal behavior are associated with IS and salvage after pPCI. Methods In 401 STEMI patients, pre-hospital and pre-PCI ECGs ...
Objectives The aim of the study was to examine the effects of ischemia on distribution of myocardial deformation imaging parapameters - longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain for assessment of myocardial function in patients with STEMI by 2 dimensional speckle tracking and compare these ...
