Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Som of ST-segment elevation after 60 min post initiation of Study Protocol | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Partial (>50%) and complete (>=70%) ST-segment resolution. - Size of the infarct as measured by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) assessed on day 3-7 days and 4-6 months after infarction (on patients who can have a CMR) - Left ventricular remodelling as assessed by contrast enhanced echocardiography. - The composite of all-cause death, cardiogenic shock, need for defibrillator placement, or congestive heart failure (CHF) through day 180 | — |
