Association of copeptin with myocardial infarct size and myocardial function after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between circulating plasma copeptin values and infarct size as well as myocardial function at baseline and 4 months after mechanical reperfusion for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

Setting: University Hospital of Innsbruck.
