Key result
In patients with STEMI, the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease did not modify artery-related ST-segment patterns on admission ECG compared to single vessel disease.
Why the study?
Does the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease modify artery-related ST-segment changes on admission ECG in patients with STEMI?
Population
289 patients with STEMI caused by acute occlusion of left anterior descending, right, or left circumflex…
Comparison
Multivessel coronary artery disease (n=140) vs Single vessel coronary artery disease (n=149)

Admission ECG ST patterns identify culprit arteries in STEMI regardless of multivessel disease; supports ECG utility but leaves open prospective validation.

Does the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease modify artery-related ST-segment changes on admission ECG in patients with STEMI?
The extent of coronary artery disease (single versus multivessel) does not alter the artery-related ST-segment patterns on admission ECG in patients with STEMI.
Noriega et al. (2013) conducted an observational in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=289). Multivessel coronary artery disease vs. Single vessel coronary artery disease was evaluated on Magnitude and distribution of artery-related ST-segment patterns. In patients with STEMI, the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease did not modify artery-related ST-segment patterns on admission ECG compared to single vessel disease.
