Implication

Intramyocardial hemorrhage signals poorer LV recovery after reperfused anterior AMI; supports microvascular injury association but leaves open need for prospective trials.

Population

24 patients with reperfused anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI)

Outcome

Relationship between temporal changes in microvascular perfusion patterns detected by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) and intramyocardial hemorrhage detected by MRI, and Wall motion score (WMS) at day 31surrogate

In patients with reperfused anterior AMI, irreversible microvascular damage is associated with intramyocardial hemorrhage and impaired recovery of left ventricular function.
