Key result
In patients with acute myocardial infarction, cardiac index significantly decreased on the first day after percutaneous coronary intervention compared to baseline (2.7 vs 3.3 l/min/m2, p=0.025) but normalized at 1 month.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyze hemodynamic changes in patients treated with PCI at an early stage of AMI and at 1-month follow-up.
Observational (n=27)
No
Impedance cardiography demonstrates that cardiac contractility transiently deteriorates early after PCI for acute myocardial infarction before normalizing at one month, highlighting its potential utility for non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive coronary care unit.

Lewicki et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=27). Time after percutaneous coronary intervention (1st day) vs. Baseline (just before PCI) was evaluated on Cardiac index (CI) at 1st day after PCI compared to baseline (p=0.025). In patients with acute myocardial infarction, cardiac index significantly decreased on the first day after percutaneous coronary intervention compared to baseline (2.7 vs 3.3 l/min/m2, p=0.025) but normalized at 1 month.
