ST-segment resolution >= 50% on the postfibrinolysis ECG was 56.6%. Postcatheterization, worst lead residual ST-segment-elevation <1 mm (57.3% versus 46.3%; P=0.01) was higher in the pharmacoinvasive compared with the pPCI cohort, but no differences were observed in the worst lead ST-...
However, the chest symptom exacerbated and ECG showed ST-segment elevation on day 5 despite adequate infusion therapy. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was urgently performed; coronary angiography showed 90% narrowing of the left anterior descending artery, segment 7 (Fig. 2). A drug-...
Cardiac troponin determinations are not required for diagnosis or treatment of classic ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, as thrombolysis is administered solely on the basis of ECG criteria. It is noteworthy, however, that within a clinical population any rise in cTnT above the detection ...

and both ends of the LAD artery suture were taped to a 5 g lead weight. The lead weight was hung on the bearing, allowing permanent compression of the LAD. S-T segment elevation was visible on the ECG, indicating successful occlusion of the coronary artery; ischemia was continued for 30...
