Official title
Clinical Relevance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Overview
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging enables comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular function, morphology and pathology. The investigators aim to evaluate the nature and clinical significance of magnetic resonance imaging parameters in patients presenting with first acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging will be performed within the first week after ST-elevation myocardial infarction and in a defined subgroup 4 months, 12 months and 10 years thereafter.
Primary outcome measures
- Occurence of major adverse cardiovascular events [Time frame: 1 - 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Infarct size assessment (% of left ventricular myocardial mass) [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Assessment of infarct transmurality grade (%) with late gadolinium enhancement imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Occurence and area of microvascular obstruction [Time frame: baseline]
- Intramyocardial haemorrhage assessed by T2* imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Tissue characterisation by T1, T2 and T2* Mapping [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Myocardial deformation by strain analysis [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Chamber volumes by cine imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Cardiac function by cine imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Stroke volumes by phase contrast imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Aortic pulse wave velocity and distensibility by phase contrast imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Aortic pulse wave distensibility by phase contrast imaging [Time frame: baseline, 4 months and 12 months]
- Quality of life and invalidity assessment (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire) [Time frame: 1 - 5 years]
