Abstract:
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:The extent of microvascular obstruction (MVO) during myocardial infarction referred to as the "no-reflow phenomenon", may determine myocardial damage. Our study aimed to investigate the incidence and the influencing factors of MVO in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous intervention (PCI). PATIENTS, METHODS:Using contrast-enhanced MRI, microvascular obstruction was defined as early hypoenhancement. Contrast defects were scored from 0 (no hypoenhancement) to 3 (strong hypoenhancement). 50 patients (56+/-11 years) with STEMI underwent PCI. Contrast-enhanced MRI (6+/-2 days after STEMI) and biochemical parameters were evaluated. RESULTS:Microvascular obstruction (score 1 to 3) was observed in 90% of the patients and major microvascular obstruction (score 2-3) in 54%. In univariate analysis, leukocytes and CRP levels were associated with MVO, whereas pre-infarction angina and prior medication by aspirin or calcium channel antagonist appeared protective. Microvascular obstruction intensity positively correlated with baseline inflammation status assessed by C-reactive protein and leukocytes (rho=0.43 and rho=0.44; p=0.003), the peak of CK (rho=0.56; p=0.01) or Troponin I (rho=0.59; p=0.01) and negatively correlated with LVEF (rho=-0.44; p=0.002). Multivariate analysis identified the absence of pre-infarction angina as the only independent predictor for microvascular obstruction (odds ratio, 8.35, 95% confidence interval 1.27-54.71; p=0.027). CONCLUSION:MRI-detected microvascular obstruction has a high incidence in patients with STEMI treated by primary PCI and determines post-MI LVEF even in patients with post PCI TIMI 3 flow score. Pre-infarction angina appears to be an independent determinant of the extent of MVO detected by MRI.
