Does non-invasive myocardial work index identify acute coronary occlusion in patients with non-ST-segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome?
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.
Boe et al. (2015) studied this question.
