Popis: Background Reperfusion networks have permitted improvements in reperfusion delays in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI)-treated ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the impact on myocardial salvage (MS) of direct transfer to the catheterization laboratory (cath-lab) to minimize system delay remains unknown. Objective We sought to quantify the myocardial salvage index (MSI) acutely and to assess adverse remodeling at 6 months in PPCI-treated STEMI according to the mode of patient presentation. Methods Between 2005 and 2021 we included 493 patients in a single center registry of first PPCI-treated STEMI who were studied with Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in the acute phase. Among them, 414 (84.0%) underwent a second LGE-CMR at 6 months. Subjects were classified depending on the mode of presentation: those diagnosed out-of-hospital and directly transferred to the cath-lab by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS group, 29.82%); subjects with first medical contact in a PCI-capable hospital (PCI-H group, 41.75%); and patients presenting to a non-PCI-capable center and transferred for PCI (non-PCI-H group, 28.43%). We computed the angiographic area at risk by BARI score, and combined it with the LGE-CMR derived infarct size to compute a validated MSI, expressed as percentage of area at risk. The change in ejection fraction (EF) and indexed left ventricle end-diastolic volume (iLVEDV) from baseline to 6 months was also computed. Results The mean age was 58.9±11.9 years, 84.5% were male and 51.4% had anterior STEMI. Total median ischaemic time was (median (interquartile range)) 126 (105–161) min in the EMS group, 201 (145–321) min in the PCI-H group and 300 (173–592) min in the non-PCI-H group (p Conclusions Patients with out-of-hospital diagnostis of STEMI by the EMS who were directly transferred to the cath-lab showed shorter total ischaemic times, resulting in increased myocardial salvage and a trend towards improved indexes of left ventricular function at 6 months.
