Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Normalization Criteria after Angioplasty
Purpose: | To determine if reperfusion has occurred after primary angioplasty in a patient with an acute MI using the sum of ST segment elevations. |
Specialty: | Cardiology |
Objective: | imaging studies, response to therapy |
ICD-10: | I20, I21, I25, I70 |
Description: | van't Hof et al gave criteria for the degree of normalization of ST segment elevation following primary angioplasty in a patient with an acute myocardial infarction. This correlates with prognosis for the patients. The authors are from the Zwolle Myocardial Infarction Study in Zwolle, The Netherlands. |
