Relationship between tissue reperfusion and postinfarction left ventricular remodelling in patients with anterior wall myocardial infarction treated with primary coronary angioplasty.

Abstract

Failure of tissue reperfusion assessed by means of angiographic indices (MBG 0-1) in patients with myocardial infarction treated with primary coronary angioplasty is associated with a higher rate of adverse myocardial remodelling and heart failure at 6 months after myocardial infarction.
