Abstract :

BACKGROUND ST segment elevation resolution following thrombolysis is simple, non–invasive , accessible tool for the assessment of coronary reperfusion. This study was to assess the resolution of ST segment elevation 90 min following thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction as a predictor of short term outcome. METHODS Sixty patients with first attack of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction admitted in ICCU of meenakshi medical college hospital and research institute. RESULTS 60 patients, 9 patients (15%) had < 30% ST resolution (no STR), 26 (43.3%) had 30–70% ST resolution (partial STR), 25 (41.7%) had > 70% ST resolution (complete STR) CONCLUSION Patients with no resolution of ST segment 90 minutes following thrombolysis associated with more adverse events and mortality compare to partial and complete resolution group.
