ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Final infarct size (IS) after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a major predictor of mortality. Seeking early predictors for final IS can guide individualized therapeutic strategies for those recognized to be at higher risk.RESULTS:
Eighty STEMI patients successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) underwent baseline (within 48 h) 2D, 3D echocardiography with speckle tracking and then underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at 3 months to assess the final IS. After recruitment, 4 patients were excluded for uncontainable claustrophobia while 76 patients completed the final analysis. The mean ± standard deviation age was 54.1 ± 10.9 years, 84% were males, 25% had diabetes, 26% were hypertensives, 71% were current smokers, 82% had dyslipidemia, and 18% had a family history of premature coronary artery disease. By 3 months, CMR was performed to accurately evaluate the final IS. In univariate regression analysis, the admission heart rate, baseline and post-pPCI ST elevation, STEMI location (anterior vs. inferior), highest peri-procedural troponin, large thrombus burden, baseline thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade, the final myocardial blush grade, the 2D and 3D left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and the 2D and 3D global longitudinal strain (GLS) parameters were significant predictors for the final IS. In the multivariate regression analysis, four models were constructed and recognized the residual post-PCI ST segment elevation, the highest peri-procedural troponin, the 2D-LVEF, 3D-LVEF, and 2D-GLS as significant independent predictors for final IS.CONCLUSIONS:
In STEMI patients who underwent successful pPCI, early predictors for the final IS are vital to guide therapeutic decisions. The residual post-pPCI ST elevation, the highest peri-procedural troponin, and the baseline 2D-LVEF, 3D-LVEF, and 2D-GLS can be excellent and timely tools to predict the final IS.
