Why the study?
Does a patent infarct related artery improve spontaneous myocardial viability in patients with chronic Q wave myocardial infarction?
Does a patent infarct related artery improve spontaneous myocardial viability in patients with chronic Q wave myocardial infarction?
Late spontaneous recovery of myocardial viability can occur in chronic Q wave MI patients with a patent infarct-related artery and TIMI 3 flow.

Supports late spontaneous viability recovery in chronic Q-wave MI with patent IRA and TIMI 3 flow; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Faraggi et al. (1999) studied this question.
