Chest Pain in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Its Association With the Culprit Artery and Fibrotic Segment Identified by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is still very controversial whether the characteristics of pain in the acute myocardial infarction could be related to the culprit coronary artery. There are no data about associations of pain with the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and left ventricular (LV) fibrotic segments.

Methods

Data from 328 participants who had STEMI and were included in the B and T Types of Lymphocytes Evaluation in Acute Myocardial Infarction (BATTLE-AMI) study were analyzed. The culprit artery was identified by coronary angiography and the injured myocardial segments by cardiac magnetic resonance. The statistical significance was established by P value < 0.05.

Results

A total of 223 patients (68%) were selected. Association was not observed between chest pa
