Grade III ischemia on presentation with acute myocardial infarction predicts rapid progression of necrosis and less myocardial salvage with thrombolysis.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:We undertook this study to assess the relationship between presentation pattern and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS:This registry included 10,455 patients with ACS, of whom 2,853 patients had ST-segment elevation myocardial infa...
