Key result
Intracoronary ST segment monitoring during primary PCI predicted infarct zone recovery at 6 months with similar sensitivity (92% vs 86%) and specificity (62% vs 57%) compared to standard ECG.

Intracoronary ST segment resolution during primary PCI is a strong predictor of myocardial recovery and can rapidly identify patients lacking myocardial reperfusion despite successful vessel recanalization.

Balian et al. (2004) conducted an observational in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=50). Intracoronary ST segment monitoring vs. Standard ECG was evaluated on Sensitivity to predict improved infarct zone recovery after 6 months. Intracoronary ST segment monitoring during primary PCI predicted infarct zone recovery at 6 months with similar sensitivity (92% vs 86%) and specificity (62% vs 57%) compared to standard ECG.
