Background: Borderline electrocardiograms represent a challenge in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) management and are associated with inappropriate discharges and delays to intervention.
Objectives: To assess angiographic characteristics and outcomes of patients presenting with subtle ST-elevation (STE) myocardial infarction.
Methods: A total of 504 consecutive patients with suspected STEMI treated by systematic primary percutaneous coronary intervention were prospectively included.
Background And Objective: Primary angioplasty is an effective method to achieve myocardial reperfusion in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of this study was to determine the independent factors that could predict mortality in MI patients treated with primary angioplasty and to analyze the prognostic value of tissue reperfusion parameters in those patients.
Patients And Method: A prospective observational study was performed in 380 consecutive patients with ST-elevated MI treated with primary angioplasty at a single hospital.
