Abstract:Background
Angio-based microvascular resistance (AMR) was proposed as a tool to quantitatively assess coronary microvascular based on single angiographic projection. The aims of this study are to assess the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic significance of AMR in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
Methods
AMR was measured (Of these, 22 patients measured index of microvascular resistance (IMR)) in 70 STEMI patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). ST-segment … Show more
