Predictive value of angiographic microvascular resistance for left ventricular thrombus in anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Angiographic microvascular resistance (AMR) serves as an effective metric for assessing coronary microvascular status. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of AMR for left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. This study enrolled 401 consecutive patients with anterior STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) between May 2019 and July 2023. AMR was measured immediately after PPCI via coronary angiography. LVT was identified during hospitalization through cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) or transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were recorded over 36 months follow-up. The predictive value of AMR was evaluated by logistic regression and rec
