Validation of contemporary electrocardiographic indices of area at risk and infarct size in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Electrocardiographic (ECG) methods to assess area at risk (AAR) and infarct size (IS) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been previously established but not validated against contemporary benchmark Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) measures. We compared ECG-determined and CMR-determined measures for (a) AAR, (b) IS, and (c) myocardial salvage.
