Abstract Purpose To investigate the impact of coronary anatomy and pPCI parameters on the most prognostically significant MRI measures of acute MI with ST segment elevation (MVO, infarct size). Methods The study included 52 patients with STEMI and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) of infarct-related arteries (IRA). On Days 3–7 contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI was done. Tissue analysis of scans was performed evaluating infarct size, presence and size of MVO. Results The study included 52 patients with first STEMI within <48 hours of onset. All patients urgently underwent pPCI for reperfusion. Patients were divided into 2 groups separated by the median time to reperfusion treatment (3 hours). There were no significant differences between groups in MRI-measured EF (In the group with later pPCI (>3 hours of symptom onset EF was 49.0±11.0%, and in the comparator group – 45.7±10.5%, p=0,2). MRI-measured infarct size was significantly higher in the group where pPCI was done >3 hours of symptom onset: 18.1±1.7% of the LV mass, compared to the early reperfusion group – 10.9±1.9% (p=0.009). MVO magnitude was also higher in the later pPCI group (2.6±0.64% vs 0.03±0.3% in the comparator group), (p<0,027). Correlation analysis also revealed a reliable relationship between IS and time to reperfusion (R 0.381, p=0.006). LAD lesions were associated with higher infarct size values (p=0.02) and higher risk of MVO (odds ratio 2.9, CI 0.83–10.0, p=0.03). Complete occlusion of IRA was associated with higher IS (16,97±3.3 vs 12.05±1.4, p=0.02). There was no reliable correlations between IRA patientcy and MVO magnitude (p=0.7). Conclusions In this study pPCI timing, in groups of below and more than 3 hours after symptom onset, had no significant impact on EF, as determined by MRI. However, pPCI timing exceeding 3 hours significantly influenced infarct size, the occurrence and magnitude of microvascular obstruction. LAD being the IRA was associated with larger IS, higher risks of MVO development. Patient IRA was associated with smaller IS as determined by MRI.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Early reperfusion of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) results in better outcomes. Interventions that have resulted in shorter door-to-balloon (DTB) time include prehospital cardiovascular laboratory activation and prehospital electrocardiogram (ECG) transmission, which are only available for patients who arrive via emergency ambulances. We assessed the impact of mode of transport on DTB time in a single tertiary institution and evaluated the factors that affected various components of DTB time. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using registry data of patients diagnosed with STEMI in the emergency department (ED) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We compared patients who arrived by emergency ambulances with those who came via their own transport. The primary study end point was DTB, defined as the earliest time a patient arrived in the ED to balloon inflation. As deidentified data was used, ethics review was waived. Results: A total of 321 patients were included for analysis after excluding 7 with missing data. The mean age was 61.4±11.4 years old with 49 (15.3%) females. Ninety-nine (30.8%) patients arrived by emergency ambulance. The median DTB time was shorter for patients arriving by ambulance versus own transport (52min, interquartile range [IQR] 45–61 vs 67min, IQR 59–74; P<0.001), with shorter door-to-ECG and door-to-activation time. Conclusion: Arrival via emergency ambulance was associated with a decreased DTB for STEMI patients compared to arriving via own transport. There is a need for public education to increase the usage of emergency ambulances for suspected heart attacks to improve outcomes.

Background: Up to 40% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) present later than 12 hours after symptom onset. However, data on clinical outcomes in STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention 12 or more hours after symptom onset are non-existent. We evaluated the association between primary percutaneous coronary intervention performed later than 12 hours after symptom onset and clinical outcomes in a large all-comer contemporary STEMI cohort. Methods: All STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention in eastern Denmark from November 2009 to November 2016 were included and stratified by timing of the percutaneous coronary intervention. The combined clinical endpoint of all-cause mortality and hospitalisation for heart failure was identified from nationwide Danish registries. Results: We included 6674 patients: 6108 (92%) were treated less than 12 hours and 566 (8%) were treated 12 or more hours after symptom onset. During a median follow-up period of 3.8 (interquartile range 2.3–5.6) years, 30-day, one-year and long-term cumulative rates of the combined endpoint were 11%, 17% and 25% in patients treated 12 or fewer hours and 21%, 29% and 37% in patients treated more than 12 hours ( P<0.001 for all) after symptom onset. Late presentation was independently associated with an increased risk of an adverse clinical outcome (hazard ratio 1.42, 95% confidence interval 1.22–1.66; P<0.001). Conclusions: Increasing duration from symptom onset to primary percutaneous coronary intervention was associated with an increased risk of an adverse clinical outcome in patients with STEMI, especially when the delay exceeded 12 hours.
