Estimating the extent of myocardial damage in patients with STEMI using the DETERMINE score.

ABSTRACT: Recently, a simple ECG score (DETERMINE score) has been proposed for estimating myocardial scar in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy. We sought to evaluate the usefulness of the DETERMINE score for the assessment of myocardial infarct size (IS) as well as microvascular obstruction (MVO), in the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This observational study enrolled 423 patients with STEMI (median age 56, 17% women), revascularised by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). For evaluation of the DETERMINE and Selvester scoring system (an established but complex ECG score for IS estimation), ECG was conducted before discharge (median: 4 (IQR 2-6) days). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was conducted within a week after infarction for determination of IS and MV
