Long-Term Prognostic Value of ST-Segment Resolution in Patients Treated With Fibrinolysis or Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
JACC - Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 11/02/09

Sejersten M et al. – The ST–segment resolution at 90 min was more complete after pPCI, suggesting better epicardial and microvascular reperfusion, whereas no difference between treatment strategies was seen at 4 h. The ST–segment resolution at 4 h correlated with decreased mortality, but increased reinfarction rates among patients receiving fibrinolytic therapy, whereas no association was seen for patients receiving pPCI. Consequently, 4–h ST–segment resolution remains an important prognosticator after fibrinolysis, but may be overemphasized as a surrogate end point after pPCI.
