Key result
Wall motion score index >1.5 and LAD as an infarct-related artery independently predicted left ventricular remodeling 6 months after primary PCI (relative risk 3.2 and 2.6, respectively).
Population
152 patients diagnosed with acute STEMI who underwent successful primary PCI

Early predictors of post-PCI LV remodeling need prospective validation; leaves open any change to discharge risk stratification.

Wall motion score index >1.5 and LAD as the infarct-related artery are independent early predictors of left ventricular remodeling at 6 months following successful primary PCI for STEMI.
M.Sc. MAHMOUD EL-SABOUR MOHAMED KASEM ALI (2018) conducted a cohort in Acute STEMI (n=152). Wall Motion Score Index (WMSI) >1.5 and LAD as Infarct Related Artery (IRA) vs. WMSI ≤1.5 and non-LAD IRA was evaluated on Left Ventricular (LV) remodeling (increase in Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume Index >20%) (RR 3.2, p=<0.05). Wall motion score index >1.5 and LAD as an infarct-related artery independently predicted left ventricular remodeling 6 months after primary PCI (relative risk 3.2 and 2.6, respectively).
