Consideration of the Impact of Reperfusion Therapy on the Quantitative Relationship between the Selvester QRS Score and Infarct Size by Cardiac MRI

摘要

It has previously been shown that there is a good agreement between the Selvester QRS score and myocardial infarct (MI) size determined by postmortem histopathology in patients with nonreperfused MI. Currently, however, most patients with acute coronary thrombosis receive reperfusion therapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that early reperfusion alters the quantitative relationship between Selvester QRS score and MI size.
