Comprehensive Prognosis Assessment by CMR Imaging After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Abstract Background Although the prognostic value of findings from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been established in single-center center studies in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a large multicenter investigation to evaluate the prognostic significa...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Background Although the prognostic value of findings from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been established in single-center center studies in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a large multicenter investigation to evaluate the prognostic significance of myocardial damage and reperfusion injury is lacking. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of CMR in an adequately powered multicenter study and to evaluate the most potent CMR predictor of hard clinical events in a STEMI population treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We enrolled 738 STEMI patients in this CMR study at 8 centers. The patients were reperfused by primary PCI
