Abstract
Background: Prediction of the location of culprit lesions responsible for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions may allow for prevention of these events by safe and easily deliverable local therapies. Methods: A retrospective analysis of coronary movement was performed on coronary angiograms of patients who subsequently represented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary or rescue angioplasty at a single institution. Results: Twenty patients were identified. The stretch-compression type of coronary artery movement (CAM) was a statistically significant independent predictor of the segment containing the culprit lesion (odds ratio 6.10, p-value 0.005). Conclusions: The stretch-compression type of coronary artery movement is an independent predictor of the location of culprit lesions responsible for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions.
