INTRODUCTION: In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (IHCA) after ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is a subset of IHCA with high morbidity. While information on this selected group of patients is limited, closer inspection reveals that this is a challenging patient population with certain risk factors for IHCA following treatment of STEMI. AREAS COVERED: In this review article, strategies for prevention of IHCA post STEMI are reviewed, as well as best-practices for the care of STEMI patients post-IHCA. EXPERT OPINION: Early and successful reperfusion is key for the prevention of IHCA and has a significant impact on in-hospital mortality. A number of pharmacological treatments have also been studied that can impact the progression to IHCA. Development of cardiogenic shock post-STEMI increases mortality and raises the risk of cardiac arrest. The treatment of IHCA follows the ACLS algorithm with some notable exceptions.

INTRODUCTION: With the advent of reperfusion therapies, management of patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has witnessed significant changes during the last decades. AIM: We sought to analyze temporal trends in reperfusion modalities and their prognostic impact over a 20-year period in patients presenting with STEMI the Monastir region (Tunisia). METHODS: Patients from Monastir region presenting for STEMI were included in a 20-year (1998-2017) single center registry. Reperfusion modalities, early and long-term outcomes were studied according to five four-year periods. RESULTS: Out of 1734 patients with STEMI, 1370 (79%) were male and mean age was 60.3 ± 12.7 years. From 1998 to 2017, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) use significantly increased from 12.5% to 48.3% while fibrinolysis use significantly decreased from 47.6% to 31.7% (p<0.001 for both). Reperfusion delays for either fibrinolysis or primary PCI significantly decreased during the study period. In-hospital mortality significantly decreased from 13.7% during Period 1 (1998-2001) to 5.4% during Period 5 (2014-2017), (p=0.03). Long-term mortality rate (mean follow-up 49.4 ± 30.7 months) significantly decreased from 25.3% to 13% (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, age, female gender, anemia on-presentation, akinesia/dyskinesia of the infarcted area and use of plain old balloon angioplasty were independent predictors of death at long-term follow-up whereas primary PCI use and preinfaction angina were predictors of long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS: In this long-term follow-up study of Tunisian patients presenting for STEMI, reperfusion delays decreased concomitantly to an increase in primary PCI use. In-hospital and long-term mortality rates significantly decreased from 1998 to 2017.

Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) share a number of similarities. However, important differences in pathophysiology demand a disease-tailored approach. In both conditions, fast treatment plays a crucial role as ischaemia and eventually infarction develop rapidly. Furthermore, in both fields, the introduction of fibrinolytic treatments historically preceded the implementation of endovascular techniques. However, in contrast to STEMI, only a minority of AIS patients will eventually be considered eligible for reperfusion treatment. Non-invasive cerebral imaging always precedes cerebral angiography and thrombectomy, whereas coronary angiography is not routinely preceded by non-invasive cardiac imaging in patients with STEMI. In the late or unknown time window, the presence of specific patterns on brain imaging may help identify AIS patients who benefit most from reperfusion treatment. For STEMI, a uniform time window for reperfusion up to 12â h after symptom onset, based on old placebo-controlled trials, is still recommended in guidelines and generally applied. Bridging fibrinolysis preceding endovascular treatment still remains the mainstay of reperfusion treatment in AIS, while primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the strategy of choice in STEMI. Shortening ischaemic times by fine-tuning collaboration networks between ambulances, community hospitals, and tertiary care hospitals, optimizing bridging fibrinolysis, and reducing ischaemia-reperfusion injury are important topics for further research. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the common as well as diverging pathophysiology behind current reperfusion strategies and to explore new ways to enhance their clinical benefit.

BACKGROUND: Early reperfusion therapy is acknowledged as the most effective approach for reducing case fatality rates in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). OBJECTIVE: Estimate the clinical and economic consequences of delaying reperfusion in patients with STEMI. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study evaluated mortality rates and the total expenses incurred by delaying reperfusion therapy among 2622 individuals with STEMI. Costs of in-hospital care and lost productivity due to death or disability were estimated from the perspective of the Brazilian Unified Health System indexed in international dollars (Int$) adjusted by purchase power parity. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Each additional hour of delay in reperfusion therapy was associated with a 6.2% increase (95% CI: 0.3% to 11.8%, p = 0.032) in the risk of in-hospital mortality. The overall expenses were 45% higher among individuals who received treatment after 9 hours compared to those who were treated within the first 3 hours, primarily driven by in-hospital costs (p = 0.005). A multivariate linear regression model indicated that for every 3-hour delay in thrombolysis, there was an increase in in-hospital costs of Int$497 ± 286 (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of our study offer further evidence that emphasizes the crucial role of prompt reperfusion therapy in saving lives and preserving public health resources. These results underscore the urgent need for implementing a network to manage STEMI cases.
FUNDAMENTO: A terapia de reperfusão precoce é reconhecida como a abordagem mais eficaz para reduzir as taxas de letalidade de casos em pacientes com infarto do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (IAMCSST). OBJETIVO: Estimar as consequências clínicas e econômicas do atraso da reperfusão em pacientes com IAMCSST. MÉTODOS: O presente estudo de coorte retrospectivo avaliou as taxas de mortalidade e as despesas totais decorrentes do atraso na terapia de reperfusão em 2.622 indivíduos com IAMCSST. Os custos de cuidados hospitalares e perda de produtividade por morte ou incapacidade foram estimados sob a perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde indexado em dólares internacionais (Int$) ajustados pela paridade do poder de compra. Foi considerado estatisticamente significativo p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Cada hora adicional de atraso na terapia de reperfusão foi associada a um aumento de 6,2% (intervalo de confiança de 95%: 0,3% a 11,8%, p = 0,032) no risco de mortalidade hospitalar. As despesas gerais foram 45% maiores entre os indivíduos que receberam tratamento após 9 horas em comparação com aqueles que foram tratados nas primeiras 3 horas, impulsionados principalmente pelos custos hospitalares (p = 0,005). Um modelo de regressão linear multivariada indicou que para cada 3 horas de atraso na trombólise, houve um aumento nos custos hospitalares de Int$ 497 ± 286 (p = 0,003). CONCLUSÕES: Os achados do nosso estudo oferecem mais evidências que enfatizam o papel crucial da terapia de reperfusão imediata no salvamento de vidas e na preservação dos recursos de saúde pública. Estes resultados enfatizam a necessidade urgente de implementação de uma rede para gerir casos de IAMCSST.

Despite impressive improvements in the care of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, mortality remains high. Reperfusion is necessary for myocardial salvage, but the abrupt return of flow sets off a cascade of injurious processes that can lead to further necrosis. This has been termed myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and is the subject of this review. The pathologic and molecular bases for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury are increasingly understood and include injury from reactive oxygen species, inflammation, calcium overload, endothelial dysfunction, and impaired microvascular flow. A variety of pharmacologic strategies have been developed that have worked well in preclinical models and some have shown promise in the clinical setting. In addition, there are newer mechanical approaches including mechanical unloading of the heart prior to reperfusion that are in current clinical trials.

Reperfusion therapy of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) refers to physical or chemical recanalization and restoration of blood flow to an occluded coronary artery, and current techniques for reperfusion therapy include intravenous thrombolysis, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The number of patients receiving emergency CABG in the real world is decreasing due to the disadvantages of CABG and the improvement in PCI procedures. Thrombolytic therapy has some disadvantages such as low recanalization rate, high risk of reocclusion and bleeding, and short time window. On the other hand, intracoronary interventional therapy may meet the requirements of "early, complete and persistent" patency of coronary arteries at different time points. However, in the emergency PCI, although thrombus aspiration via a catheter or balloon dilation is performed, residual thrombus with heavy or low TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) myocardial perfusion grading is still observed in some patients, suggesting disordered microcirculation. Currently, the treatment of microcirculatory disturbance in emergency PCI mainly employed injection of tirofiban, adenosine, thrombolytic agent or other drugs into the local area via a microcatheter in a short time, all of which can significantly reduce the thrombus load and improve TIMI perfusion. Herein, we report that a microcatheter was indwelled in the coronary artery for continuous pumping of low-dose thrombolytic drugs as reperfusion therapy in 12 patients with acute and subacute MI.

Microvascular injury immediately following reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction (MI) has emerged as a driving force behind major adverse cardiovascular events in the postinfarction period. Although postmortem investigations and animal models have aided in developing early understanding of microvascular injury following reperfusion, imaging, particularly serial noninvasive imaging, has played a central role in cultivating critical knowledge of progressive damage to the myocardium from the onset of microvascular injury to months and years after in acute MI patients. This review summarizes the pathophysiological features of microvascular injury and downstream consequences, and the contributions noninvasive imaging has imparted in the development of this understanding. It also highlights the interventional trials that aim to mitigate the adverse consequences of microvascular injury based on imaging, identifies potential future directions of investigations to enable improved detection of disease, and demonstrates how imaging stands to play a major role in the development of novel therapies for improved management of acute MI patients.

Patients with transient ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or spontaneous reperfusion, which occurs in approximately 20% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), have smaller infarcts and more favorable clinical outcomes than patients without spontaneous reperfusion. Understanding the mechanisms underlying spontaneous reperfusion is therefore important since this may identify possible novel therapeutic targets to improve outcomes in patients with STEMI. In this review, we discuss some of the possible determinants of spontaneous reperfusion including pro-thrombotic profile, endogenous fibrinolytic status, lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]), inflammatory markers, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Effective (rapid) endogenous fibrinolysis, as assessed in whole blood in vitro, using a point-of-care technique assessment of global thrombotic status, has been strongly linked to spontaneous reperfusion. Lp(a), which has a high degree of homology to plasminogen, may impair fibrinolysis through competitive inhibition of tissue plasminogen activator-mediated plasminogen activation as well as tissue plasminogen activator-mediated clot lysis and contribute to pathogenic clot properties by decreasing fibrin clot permeation. NETs appear to negatively modulate clot lysis by increasing thrombin fiber diameter and inhibiting plasmin-driven lysis of plasma clots. There are limited data that oral anticoagulation may modulate endogenous fibrinolysis but antiplatelet agents currently appear to have no impact. Phase III trials involving subcutaneous P2Y12 or glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, oral factor XIa inhibitors, interleukin-6 inhibitors, and apolipoprotein(a) antisense oligonucleotides in patients with cardiovascular disease are ongoing. Future studies will be needed to determine the impact of these novel antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering therapies on endogenous fibrinolysis and spontaneous reperfusion.

AIM: Based on data from the Russian REGION-IM registry, to study the features of reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in real-life clinical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: REGION-IM is a multicenter prospective observational study. The observational period is divided into 3 stages: during the stay in the hospital and at 6 and 12 months after inclusion in the registry. The patient's records contain demographic and history data; information about the present case of MI, including the time of the first symptom onset, first contact with medical personnel, and admission to the hospital; coronary angiography (CAG) data, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) data, and information about the thrombolytic therapy (TLT). RESULTS: Reperfusion therapy was performed in 88.9 % of patients with STEMI. Primary PCI (pPCI) was performed in 60.6 % of patients. The median time from the onset of symptoms to pPCI was 315 minutes [195; 720]. The median time from ECG to pPCI was 110 minutes [84;150]. Isolated TLT was performed in 7.4 %, pharmaco-invasive treatment tactics were used only in 20.9 % of cases. The median time from ECG to TLT (prehospital and in-hospital) was 30 minutes [10; 59], whereas the median time from ECG to prehospital TLT was 18 minutes [10; 39], and in 63 % of patients, TLT was performed more than 10 minutes after diagnosis. PCI followed TLT in 73 % of patients. CONCLUSION: The frequency of reperfusion therapy for STEMI in the Russian Federation has increased considerably in recent years. The high frequency of pPCI is noteworthy, but the timing of pPCI does not always comply with clinical guidelines. The results of this registry confirm the high demand for pharmaco-invasive strategies in real-life clinical practice. Taking into account geographical and logistical features, implementing timely myocardial reperfusion requires prehospital TLT. However, the TLT frequency in the Russian Federation is still insufficient despite its proven maximum effectiveness in the shortest possible time from the detection of acute MI.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate determinants of reperfusion within recommended time limits (timely reperfusion) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients, exploring the impact of geography, patient characteristics and socio-economy. DESIGN: National register-based cohort study. SETTING: Multilevel logistic regression models were applied to examine the associations between timely reperfusion and residency in hospital referral areas and municipalities, patient characteristics, and socio-economy. PARTICIPANTS: 7607 Norwegian ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients registered in the Norwegian Registry of Myocardial Infarction during 2015-2018. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The odds of timely reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or fibrinolysis. RESULTS: Among 7607 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients in Norway, 56% received timely reperfusion. The Norwegian goal is 85%. While 81% of the patients living in the Oslo hospital referral area received timely reperfusion, only 13% of the patients living in Finnmark did so.Patients aged 75-84 years had lower odds of timely reperfusion than patients below 55 years of age (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.87). Patients with moderate or high comorbidity had lower odds than patients without (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.95 and OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.84). More than 2 hours from symptom onset to first medical contact gave lower odds than less than 30 min (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.72). 1-2 hours of travel time to a PCI centre (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.49) and more than 2 hours (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.30) gave substantially lower odds than less than 1 hour of travel time. CONCLUSIONS: The varying proportion of patients receiving timely reperfusion across hospital referral areas implies inequity in fundamental healthcare services, not compatible with established Norwegian health policy. The importance of travel time to PCI centre points at the expanded use of prehospital pharmacoinvasive strategy to obtain the goals of timely reperfusion in Norway.

A comparative analysis of the infarct-limiting activity of δ- and κ-opioid receptors (OR) agonists was carried out on a model of coronary occlusion (45 min) and reperfusion (120 min) in male Wistar rats. We used selective δ2-OR agonist deltorphin II (0.12 mg/kg), δ-OR agonists BW373U86 and p-Cl-Phe DPDPE (0.1 and 1 mg/kg), selective agonists of δ1-OR DPDPE (0.1 and 0.969 mg/kg), κ1-OR U-50,488 (0.1 and 1 mg/kg), κ2-OR GR-89696 (0.1 mg/kg), and κ-OR ICI-199,441 (0.1 mg/kg). All drugs were administered intravenously 5 min before reperfusion. Deltorphin II, BW373U86 (1 mg/kg), p-Cl-Phe DPDPE (1 mg/kg), U-50,488 (1 mg/kg), and ICI-199,441 had a cardioprotective effect. The most promising compounds for drug development are ICI-199,441 and deltorphin II.

Ischemic heart disease is the greatest health burden and most frequent cause of death worldwide. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion is the pathophysiological substrate of ischemic heart disease. Improvements in prevention and treatment of ischemic heart disease have reduced mortality in developed countries over the last decades, but further progress is now stagnant, and morbidity and mortality from ischemic heart disease in developing countries are increasing. Significant problems remain to be resolved and require a better pathophysiological understanding. The present review attempts to briefly summarize the state of the art in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion research, with a view on both its coronary vascular and myocardial aspects, and to define the cutting edges where further mechanistic knowledge is needed to facilitate translation to clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Microvascular obstruction (MVO) and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) are well-established imaging biomarkers of failed myocardial tissue reperfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation-myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. MVO and IMH are associated with an increased risk of adverse outcome independent of infarct size, but whether the size of the culprit lesion vessel plays a role in the occurrence and severity of reperfusion injury is currently unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association between culprit lesion vessel size and the occurrence and severity of reperfusion injury as determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients (n=516) with first-time ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction underwent evaluation with cardiac magnetic resonance at 4 (3-5) days after infarction. MVO was assessed with late gadolinium enhancement imaging and IMH with T2* mapping. Vessel dimensions were determined using catheter-based reference. Median culprit lesion vessel size was 3.1 (2.7-3.6) mm. MVO and IMH were found in 299 (58%) and 182 (35%) patients. Culprit lesion vessel size was associated with body surface area, diabetes, total ischemic time, postinterventional thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow, and infarct size. There was no association between vessel size and MVO or IMH in univariable and multivariable analysis (P>0.05). These findings were consistent across patient subgroups with left anterior descending artery and non-left anterior descending artery infarctions and those with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 3 flow post-percutaneous coronary intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive characterization of myocardial tissue reperfusion injury by cardiac magnetic resonance revealed no association between culprit lesion vessel size and the occurrence of MVO and IMH in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND: The use of myocardial reperfusion-mainly via angioplasty-has increased in our region to over 95%. We wondered whether old and very old patients have benefited from this development. METHODS: Setting: Greater Paris Area (Ile-de-France). DATA: Regional registry, prospective, including since 2003, data from 39 mobile intensive care units performing prehospital treatment of patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (<24 h). PARAMETERS: Demographic, decision to perform reperfusion and outcome (in-hospital mortality). PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Reperfusion decision rate by decade over age 70. SECONDARY ENDPOINT: Outcome. RESULTS: We analysed the prehospital management of 27,294 patients. There were 21,311 (78%) men and 5,919 (22%) women with a median age of 61 (52-73 years). Among these patients, 8,138 (30%) were > 70 years, 3,784 (14%) > 80 years and 672 (2%) > 90 years.The reperfusion decision rate was 94%. It decreased significantly with age: 93, 90 and 76% in patients in their seventh, eighth and ninth decade, respectively. The reperfusion decision rate increased significantly over time. It increased in all age groups, especially the higher ones. Mortality was 6%. It increased significantly with age: 8, 16 and 25% in patients in their seventh, eighth and ninth decade, respectively. It significantly decreased over time in all age groups. The odds ratio of the impact of reperfusion decision on mortality reached 0.42 (0.26-0.68) in patients over 90 years. CONCLUSION: the increase in the reperfusion decision rate was the greatest in the oldest patients. It reduced mortality even in patients over 90 years of age.

Revascularization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) still remains controversial. The factors that impact collateral circulation and myocardial perfusion are of interest. Circular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to regulate the process of angiogenesis. However, the effects of circ-membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 2 (circ-MBOAT2) on angiogenesis in patients with CTO were unclear. In this study, we evaluated circulating circRNAs and miRNAs in patients with CTO and stable coronary artery disease using high-throughput sequencing. Another cohort of patients were selected to verify the expressions of circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495. The role and mechanism of circ-MBOAT2 in the process of angiogenesis were explored through in vitro and vivo studies. Finally, we came back to a clinical perspective and investigated whether circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495 were associated with the improvement of myocardial perfusion evaluated by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We found that the expression of circ-MBOAT2 was significantly up-regulated while miR-495 was significantly down-regulated in patients with CTO. The expression of circ-MBOAT2 was negatively correlated with miR-495 in patients with CTO. In an in vitro study, we found that circ-MBOAT2 promoted tube formation and cell migration via the miR-495/NOTCH1 axis in endothelial cells. In an in vivo study, we showed that the inhibition of miR-495 caused the increase in collateral formation in mice after hindlimb ischemia. In a human study, we showed the expressions of circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495 were associated with myocardial perfusion improvement after revascularization of CTO. In conclusion, circ-MBOAT2 regulates angiogenesis via the miR-495/NOTCH1 axis and associates with myocardial perfusion in patients with CTO. Our findings suggest that circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495 may be potential therapeutic targets and prognostic factors for patients with CTO.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury is a complication in vascular reperfusion therapy for MI, occurring in approximately 60% of patients. Ferroptosis is an important process in the development of MI/R cardiac lesions. Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), a marker of ferroptosis, corresponds to the changes in MI/R cardiac lesions and is expected to be a biomarker for detecting MI/R-induced ferroptosis. However, the noninvasive in vivo visualization of ferroptosis in MI/R is a big challenge. Thus, this study aimed to develop a novel multimodal imaging platform to identify markers of MI/R cardiac lesions in vivo through targeting TfR1. Methods: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) modality for ferroptosis based on superparamagnetic cubic-iron oxide nanoparticles (SCIO NPs), named feMPI, has been developed. FeMPI used TfR1 as a typical biomarker. The feMPI probe (SCIO-ICG-CRT-CPPs NPs, CCI NPs) consists of SCIO NPs, TfR1-targeting peptides (CRT), cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), and indocyanine green (ICG). The specificity and sensitivity of CCI NPs in the MI/R mouse model were evaluated by MPI, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging. Results: The intensity of the MPI signal correlates linearly with the percentage of infarct area in MI/R stained by TTC, enabling a quantitative assessment of the extent of cardiac lesions. Notably, these findings are consistent with the standard clinical biochemical indicators in MI/R within the first 24 h. FeMPI detects cardiac injury approximately 48 h prior to the current clinical imaging detection methods of MI/R. Conclusion: The feMPI strategy can be a powerful tool for studying the process of MI/R-induced ferroptosis in vivo, providing clues for molecular imaging and drug development of ferroptosis-related treatments.

INTRODUCTION: The STEMI-DTU pilot study tested the early safety and practical feasibility of left ventricular (LV) unloading with a trans-valvular pump before reperfusion. In the intent-to-treat cohort, no difference was observed for microvascular obstruction (MVO) or infarct size (IS) normalized to either the area at risk (AAR) at 3-5 days or total LV mass (TLVM) at 3-5 days We now report a per protocol analysis of the STEMI-DTU pilot study. METHODS: In STEMI-DTU STUDY 50 adult patients (25 in each arm) with anterior STEMI [sum of precordial ST-segment elevation (ΣSTE) ≥4 mm] requiring primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. Only patients who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this analysis. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging 3-5 days after PCI quantified IS/AAR and IS/TLVM and MVO. Group differences were assessed using Student's t-tests and linear regression (SAS Version-9.4). RESULTS: Of the 50 patients enrolled, 2 died before CMR imaging. Of the remaining 48 patients those without CMR at 3-5 days (n = 8), without PCI of a culprit left anterior descending artery lesion (n = 2), with OHCA (n = 1) and with ΣSTE < 4 mm (n = 5) were removed from this analysis leaving 32/50 (64 %) patients meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria (U-IR, n = 15; U-DR, n = 17) as per protocol. Despite longer symptom-to-balloon times in the U-DR arm (228 ± 80 vs 174 ± 59 min, p < 0.01), IS/AAR was significantly lower with 30 min of delay to reperfusion in the presence of active LV unloading (47 ± 16 % vs 60 ± 15 %, p = 0.02) and remained lower irrespective of the magnitude of precordial ΣSTE. MVO was not significantly different between groups (1.5 ± 2.8 % vs 3.5 ± 4.8 %, p = 0.15). Among patients who received LV unloading within 180 min of symptom onset, IS/AAR was significantly lower in the U-DR group. CONCLUSION: In this per-protocol analysis of the STEMI-DTU pilot study we observed that LV unloading for 30 min before reperfusion significantly reduced IS/AAR compared to LV unloading and immediate reperfusion, whereas in the ITT cohort no difference was observed between groups. This observation supports the design of the STEMI-DTU pivotal trial and suggests that strict adherence to the study protocol can significantly influence the outcome.
