Structured PICO

Does the size of the MCE no reflow phenomenon predict outcomes and left ventricular remodeling in patients with anterior wall AMI?

P
Population
Patients with anterior wall acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
I
Intervention
Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) to assess no reflow phenomenon size at coronary reflow
O
Outcome
Outcome of coronary intervention and left ventricular remodelingsurrogate

The size of the no-reflow phenomenon assessed by MCE provides prognostic information regarding outcomes and LV remodeling in patients with anterior wall AMI.

Limitations

  • limited number of patients

Abstract

The substantial size of the MCE no reflow phenomenon at coronary reflow conveys useful information about an outcome of coronary intervention and left ventricular remodeling in individual patients with anterior wall AMI, although these are suggestive results in a limited number of patients.
