Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Myocardial Salvage Index3 monthsMyocardial Salvage Index as assessed by MRI and calculated as the difference between myocardial volume at risk and final infarct size in relation to myocardial volume at risk

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Relative Infarct size, Absolute Infarct size, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF), microvascular obstruction and infarct haemorrhage as determined by MRI3 months
Degree of ST-resolution and fraction of patients with 70 % ST-resolution measured by ECG 60 minutes post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention procedure60 minutes
Major Clinical Adverse Events including cardiac death, new or worsening heart failure and re-admission for heart failure3 months
