Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. 70 years of age; 2. Anticipated percutaneous or surgical coronary intervention within the next 4 months; 3. Presence of supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias; 4. LV ejection fraction < 45% prior to current admission for myocardial infarction; 5. Stroke or transient ischemic attack within the previous 24 hours; 6. Any contraindication for MRI; 7. Positive for HIV, HBV or HCV infection; 8. Serious known concomitant disease with a life expectancy of less than one year.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The change of regional myocardial function based on a MRI-segmental analysis at 4 months relative to baseline. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Functional: change of LV ejection fraction at 4 months relative to baseline, measured by MRI and echocardiography, and change in global and regional WMSI measured by echocardiography at 4 months and 12 months relative to baseline; Infarct related: change of infarct size at 4 months relative to baseline, measured by MRI; Clinical: occurrence within 4 and 12 months of a major adverse cardiac events; Angiograpic: the presence of in-stent restenosis and late luminal loss; Change: of intracoronary hemodynamic parameters at 4 months relative to baseline. | — |
