Haemodynamic implications of cardiovascular magnetic resonance pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) has demonstrated diagnostic and prognostic utility in heart failure patients. However, its clinical value in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains undetermined. This study investigates the relationship between CMR-derived PCWP, myocardial injury, and left ventricular (LV) remodelling in re-perfused acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods and results

Sixty-nine patients with STEMI underwent CMR within 48 h and at 3 months. PCWP was estimated using the sex-specific equation: CMR PCWP: 5.7591 + (0.07505 × left atrial volume) [0.05289 × left ventricular mass (LVM)] - (1.9927 × sex) [female = 0; male = 1], where LAV is left atrial volume (mL) and LVM is left ventri
