Complementary prognostic utility of myocardial blush grade and ST-segment resolution after primary percutaneous coronary intervention: Analysis from the HORIZONS-AMI trial

Background Both ST-segment resolution (STR) and myocardial blush grade (MBG) have prognostic utility after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We sought to clarify how frequently MBG and STR provide discordant measures of reperfusion success and t...

Zusammenfassung:Background Both ST-segment resolution (STR) and myocardial blush grade (MBG) have prognostic utility after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We sought to clarify how frequently MBG and STR provide discordant measures of reperfusion success and to determine the independent prognostic significance of each on long-term outcomes. Methods In HORIZONS-AMI, core laboratory measures of both MBG and STR were assessed in 2,367 patients undergoing primary PCI. Four groups were identified based on MBG (grades 2/3 vs 0/1) and STR (≥50% vs
