Significance of QRS scoring system in left ventricular function recovery after acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The Selvester scoring system has been derived from ECG parameters for estimating infarct size. However, there is still a lack of evidence for Selvester score as an alternative to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial injury makers for risk stratification and prediction of left ventricular function (LVF) recovery among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods and results

This multicentre observational study enrolled 328 STEMI patients (88.4% men, 57.3 ± 10.6 years of age) undergoing CMR examination 1 week post-reperfusion therapy. Patients with baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% underwent a follow-up CMR 6 months later, categorized into baseline normal LVF (ejection fraction [EF] ≥ 50% at baseline, n = 155); re
