Automated electrocardiographic scores to estimate myocardial injury size during the course of acute myocardial infarction.
The automated ST-elevation score at admission and maximal QRS score during hospitalization provide good estimates of biochemical injury size during the course of first myocardial infarction. Being easily computerized, such scores could be used routinely to monitor the effect of injury-limiting therapy.
