Does Angiography-Derived Microcirculatory Resistance (AMR) detect microvascular obstruction and predict heart failure in patients with STEMI post-primary PCI?
Angiography-derived microcirculatory resistance is a useful tool for detecting microvascular obstruction and predicting heart failure in STEMI patients after primary PCI.
AMR showed good diagnostic performance in detecting MVO and was an independent and incremental predictor of HF in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction post-primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
