Usefulness of coronary flow reserve immediately after primary coronary stenting in predicting wall motion recovery in patients with anterior wall acute myocardial infarction.
This study examined whether coronary flow reserve (CFR) measured immediately after primary coronary stenting could predict wall motion recovery in patients who have acute myocardial infarction. CFR significantly correlated with the change of wall motion score (r = 0.68, p <0.0001), and the optimal cut-off value of CFR for predicting wall motion recovery was 1.4 (sensitivity 85%, specificity 94%).
