Early CFR changes may predict salvage post-STEMI PCI; leaves open whether microvascular monitoring improves outcomes.
Do early changes in invasive measures of microvascular function (CFR, IMR) predict myocardial recovery and 6-month ejection fraction following primary PCI for STEMI?
Early changes in coronary microcirculation (specifically CFR) within the first day after primary PCI for STEMI predict 6-month ejection fraction and myocardial salvage.
