- Abstract
Aims In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) scheduled for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary PCI), acute risk-assessment may be valuable for tailoring of adjunctive therapy at the time of coronary intervention. The present study was designed to quantify pre-, per-, and post-interventional ST-changes, to evaluate whether a pre-specified continuous ST-monitoring classification provides potential prognostic information in the pre- and per-interventional phase, and to compare post-interventional ST-resolution parameters derived from continuous ST-monitoring and snapshot ECGs, respectively.
