Overview

May support MWI for ACO detection in NSTE-ACS; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does non-invasive myocardial work index identify acute coronary occlusion in patients with non-ST-segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome?

P
Population
Patients with non-ST-segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)
I
Intervention
Non-invasive myocardial work index (MWI)
C
Comparator
Other parameters
O
Outcome
Identification of acute coronary occlusion (ACO)surrogate

Non-invasive myocardial work index may serve as an important clinical tool for selecting NSTE-ACS patients in need of prompt invasive treatment by identifying acute coronary occlusion.
