Abstract
To assess the impact of spontaneous anterograde flow of the infarct artery on outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we studied 478 patients with a first anterior wall AMI who underwent coronary angiography within 12 hours after the onset of chest pain; Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow was obtained after reperfusion therapy. Patients were divided into 3 groups: 119 patients with spontaneous anterograde flow (initial TIMI 2 or 3 flow) of the infarct artery, 118 patients with an initially occluded artery (TIMI 0 or 1 flow) and time to angiography ≤2 hours (very early reperfusion), and 241 patients with an initially occluded artery and time to angiography of 2 to 12 hours (late reperfusion). Acute left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was significantly higher in patients with spontaneous anterograde flow than in patients without (54 ± 14% vs 47 ± 10%, p
