Clinical and procedural predictors of suboptimal myocardial reperfusion in primary percutaneous coronary intervention

ConclusionLonger reperfusion time, repeated balloon inflations, high predilatation pressure> 15 ATM , high thrombus burden, neither history of angina nor aspirin intake prior to AMI, high total leucocytic count> 10103/mm3 and high blood glucose level> 160mg/dl were predictors for persistent suboptimal myocardial reperfusion in primary PCI.
