Prognostic value of ST-segment resolution-when and what to measure.

• Analyses of ST-segment resolution during acute myocardial infarction has, during recent years, challenged coronary angiography as gold-standard for predicting myocardial reflow and future risk. We have previously reported that continuous ST-monitoring can be done accurately in the clinical setting. We now set out to compare the prognostic value of previously suggested cut-offs for ST-segment resolution, and determine the times to measure these.
