Does MRI-determined microvascular obstruction predict long-term prognosis and cardiovascular complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Patients with acute myocardial infarction
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine microvascular obstruction and infarct size
Cardiovascular complications and long-term prognosishard clinical
MRI-determined microvascular obstruction is a strong independent predictor of long-term cardiovascular complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
After infarction, MRI-determined microvascular obstruction predicts more frequent cardiovascular complications. In addition, infarct size determined by MRI also relates directly to long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, microvascular status remains a strong prognostic marker even after control for infarct size.
