Impact of Intramyocardial Hemorrhage on Clinical Outcomes in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) occurs after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and has been documented using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The prevalence and prognostic significance of IMH are not well described, and the small sample size has limited prior studies.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive literature search of multiple databases to identify studies that compared outcomes in STEMI patients with or without IMH. The outcomes studied were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), infarct size, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and mortality. Odds ratios (ORs) and standardized mean differ
