Myocardial damage size assessment in the zone of infarction for indicating rescue percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Background. The most important predictors of subsequent patients outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AIM) are infarct size, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes and presence and extent of residual myocardial ischemia.
