| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of erythropoietin to reduce myocardial infarct size as a proportion of area at risk in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction presenting for primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 6h of symptom onset;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of erythropoietin to improve measures of global and regional remodelling and contractile function in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction presenting for primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 6h of symptom onset;Primary end point(s): Difference in regional end-systolic wall thickness in the distribution territory of the culprit artery subjects treated with placebo and erythropoietin at 180 days. Change in myocardial infarct size as a proportion of area at risk between the day 3-5 cardiovascular MR scan and the day 180 cardiovascular MR scan in subjects treated with placebo and erythropoietin. | — |
