Incidence and Significance of Spontaneous ST Segment Re-elevation After Reperfused Anterior Acute Myocardial Infarction ― Relationship With Infarct Size, Adverse Remodeling, and Events at 1 Year―
Résumé
been associated with the extent of myocardial damage, re-infarction, left ventricular (LV) remodeling, and mortality. 1-5 Regression of ST segment elevation has been used in several studies to assess the quality of reperfusion. 6-9 T he electrocardiogram (ECG) is the first-line diagnostic tool in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The ECG is a simple and easily reproducible test, with a non-ambiguous diagnostic ability. ST segment resolution is commonly used as a marker of successful reperfusion. It is an independent prognostic parameter of subsequent adverse events in STEMI patients. In many studies, the absence of ST segment resolution has Background: Up to 25% of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have ST segment re-elevation after initial regression post-reperfusion and there are few data regarding its prognostic significance.
