Why the study?
Left ventricular apical thrombus is an important complication of anterior STEMI, and the newly developed MAPH score estimates blood viscosity and thrombus sensitivity.
Does a high MAPH score predict left ventricular apical thrombus and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with acute anterior STEMI?
Does a high MAPH score predict left ventricular apical thrombus and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with acute anterior STEMI?
The MAPH score is a simple, easily calculated tool that can independently predict the development of left ventricular apical thrombus and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute anterior STEMI.
MAPH score may aid LVAT/MACCE risk stratification in anterior STEMI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
