Key result
Residual ST segment deviation after reperfusion in the single lead with maximum ST segment deviation was as good as summed ST elevation in predicting final myocardial damage.

Does residual ST segment deviation in a single lead predict infarct size as well as summed ST elevation in patients with STEMI?
Residual ST segment deviation in a single lead with maximum deviation is a simple and effective method for predicting final myocardial damage after reperfusion in STEMI.
Walter Desmet (2004) conducted an observational in ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (n=45). Residual ST segment deviation in the single lead with maximum ST segment deviation vs. Summed ST segment elevation was evaluated on Infarct size / myocardial damage assessed by positron emission tomography. Residual ST segment deviation after reperfusion in the single lead with maximum ST segment deviation was as good as summed ST elevation in predicting final myocardial damage.
