ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction
Conditions
Brief summary
Our aim was to correlate functional and perfusion abnormalities early post primary percutaneous coronary intervention after acute myocardial infarction in ST elevation myocardial infarction patients to estimate myocardial salvage, and to predict left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery and remodeling in gated SPECT at follow-up.
Detailed description
Myocardial Salvage and Infarction Size assessed by an early gated Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Image study can predict Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction evolution after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction.
