Fluoroscopy Assisted Scoring of Myocardial Hypoperfusion (FLASH) ratio as a novel predictor of mortality after primary PCI in STEMI patients

摘要

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether Fluoroscopy Assisted Scoring of Myocardial Hypoperfusion (FLASH) enabled a more accurate assessment of coronary blood flow and prediction of cardiac mortality after primary PCI (pPCI), than the presently used angiographic scores of reperfusion.
