Questions reliability of epicardial ST elevation for estimating infarct size; hypothesis-generating in awake canine occlusion models.
Does epicardial ST-segment elevation correlate with regional myocardial blood flow and extent of myocardial infarction in awake dogs following coronary occlusion?
Epicardial ST-segment elevation correlates poorly with the extent of myocardial infarction and regional myocardial blood flow in a canine model of coronary occlusion.
Irvin et al. (1977) studied this question.
