Value Of Non-Invasive Markers Of Coronary Artery Patency After Thrombolysis In Acute Myocardial Infarction In Pakistani Population

Abstract

Summary: Non-invasive method of monitoring reperfusion of infarct-related artery can be used to identify the majority of patients with inadequate reperfusion. These non.-responsive patients may get benefit from mechanical revascularizadon. Percent (%) ST change of> 50 resolutions at 90 minutes of thrombolytic treatment provides a thod that is both specific and sensitive. CKMB peak within 12 hours gives high &ree of sensitivity but low specificity. Reperfusion arrhythmias are poor indicator 14 reperfusion having low sensitivity.
