Abstract
In acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can retrospectively detect the myocardium at risk and the irreversible injury. This allows for quantifying the extent of salvaged myocardium after reperfusion as a potential strong end point for clinical trials and outcome. We have previously shown that the myocardial salvage index (MSI) assessed by CMR is a strong indicator of 6-months clinical outcome after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

In acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can retrospectively detect the myocardium at risk and the irreversible injury
We have previously shown that the myocardial salvage index (MSI) assessed by CMR is a strong indicator of 6-months clinical outcome after STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Aim of this study was to investigate whether the early benefits of such findings are sustained at long-term clinical follow-up in STEMI patients undergoing primary angioplasty
