Lesion site but not narrowing severity was associated with infarct size; hypothesis-generating for anatomy-guided AMI risk stratification.
Does the site and severity of coronary narrowing correlate with infarct size in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
The anatomical site of coronary occlusion, rather than the severity of the narrowing, is the primary determinant of infarct size in acute myocardial infarction.
Hori et al. (1980) studied this question.
