ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) routinely restores normal epicardial flow among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, impairment of myocardial perfusion frequently persists. The goal of this analysis was to determine whether impaired myocardial perfusion was associated with cardiovascular magnetic resonance-defined abnormalities in infarct architecture, including infarct size (IS), infarct surface area (ISA), infarct border zone (IBZ), and infarct complexity (IC).METHODS:
Thirty-one patients with STEMI treated with pPCI were included in the analysis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was performed within 7 days of presentation and repeated at 3 months. Infarct complexity was defined as the ratio of actual ISA to an idealized smooth ISA and normalized to IS.RESULTS:
Impaired Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG) (<3) was associated with larger ISA at baseline (78.2 +/- 25.3 cm(2) vs 40.3 +/- 30.3 cm(2), P = .02) and follow-up (58.8 +/- 27.5 cm(2) vs 26.3 +/- 20.2 cm(2), P = .03) and larger IBZ at follow-up (7.8% +/- 2.7% vs 4.1% +/- 3.3%, P = .02). At follow-up, ISA, when normalized to IS, was significantly higher among patients with impaired myocardial perfusion (TMPG <3) (6.9 +/- 2.5 vs 5.9 +/- 2.4 cm(2)/%, P = .03). Thrombolysis in MI myocardial perfusion grade <3 was also associated with increased IC at follow-up (52% +/- 12% vs 33% +/- 16%, P = .01).CONCLUSIONS:
Impaired TMPG is associated with larger ISA, IBZ, and increased IC. At 3 months, TMPG remained associated with ISA and IC after adjusting for IS, suggesting that impaired TMPG after pPCI is associated with infarct architecture after healing, independent of IS.
