The aims of the study were to evaluate the predictive value of persistent microvascular obstruction (MVO) by cardiac magnetic resonance for main adverse cardiac events in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. MVO in the acute phase of myocardial infarction has been considered to be strong predictor of a poor prognosis. We plan to explore the relationship between persistent MVO and the long-term prognosis of patients with STEMI. We made hypothesis that patients with persistent MVO have a poor prognosis.
