Abstract 2404: ECG Estimate Of Ischemic Acuteness and Time from Pain Onset for Predicting Myocardial Salvage in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Circulation

Thus, it is important to be able to assess the acuteness of ischemia as a patient presents with signs of acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to compare ECG estimate of ischemic acuteness and time from pain onset for predicting myocardial salvage in patients with first-time myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: Thirteen patients with acutely revascularized first-time MI were studied. All patients had 99mTc tetrofosmin injected and an ECG recorded prior to the PCI. TIMI III flow was obtained in all patients. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was undertaken within 3 hours of the PCI to assess the myocardium at risk (MaR). Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) was performed 1 week after admission for assessment of infarct size (IS) and infarct transmurality (IT). A salvage index was...

To what extent are perfusion defects seen by myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with left bundle branch block related to myocardial infarction, ECG characteristics, and myocardial wall motion?

Methods Twenty-three patients (9 women) with LBBB, examined with MPS and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), were included. Tracer uptake on MPS was classified by visual interpretation as typical LBBB pattern (Defect+, n = 13) or not (Defect−, n = 10) and quantitatively. CMR images were evaluated for wall thickness and for myocardial wall motion both by visual assessment and by regional myocardial radial strain from feature tracking, and for presence and location of myocardial fibrosis. ECGs were analyzed regarding QRS duration and the presence of strict criteria for LBBB. Results Wall thickness was slightly lower in the septum compared to the lateral wall in Defect+ patients (5.6 ± 1.1 vs 6.0 ± 1.3 mm, P = 0.03) but not in Defect− patients (5.6 ± 1.0...
