Why the study?

Does the magnitude of ST segment elevation predict the severity of acute transmural anterior myocardial infarction?

Population

40 patients admitted to a coronary care unit after acute transmural anterior myocardial infarction

Design

Cohort

Implication

ST elevation magnitude should not estimate anterior MI size; leaves open mapping's prognostic role in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does the magnitude of ST segment elevation predict the severity of acute transmural anterior myocardial infarction?

Population

40 patients admitted to a coronary care unit after acute transmural anterior myocardial infarction

Intervention

Serial praecordial electrocardiographic maps recorded at 35 electrode positions to measure ST segment elevation

Outcome

Correlation between the magnitude of ST segment elevation and the severity of infarction, as assessed clinically or by sequential estimations of serum creatine kinase activitysurrogate

Praecordial ST segment elevation mapping is not a reliable index for predicting the size or severity of acute anterior myocardial infarctions.
