[Evaluation of TIMI-4 flow at the coronary unit (INCICH)].
At present, the use of techniques that lead to assess coronary flow is determined by methods that include mostly coronary angiography, which is a fundamental tool in the evaluation of acute myocardial infarction carrier patients. The assessment of the myocardial flow permeability state, determined through TIMI-4 flow, allows to establish more precisely the impact of the used reperfusion treatment. The most common way of assessing it at the Coronary Unit is through contrast echocardiography using pharmacological agents with harmonic properties.
