Background-Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) enables evaluation of distal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) flow. The purpose of this study was to test whether TTDE can differentiate coronary reperfusion with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 from TIMI grade less than or equal to2 in patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods and Results-In 46 consecutive patients with a first anterior AMI in the acute phase before emergent coronary intervention, the presence of antegrade distal LAD flow and its diastolic peak velocity were evaluated by color and pulsed TTDE and compared with TIMI grades by subsequent coronary angiography performed 29+/-12 minutes later. Nineteen patients had TIMI 0 reperfusion, 4 had TIMI 1, 10 had TIMI 2, and 13 had TIMI 3. Visual antegrade distal LAD flow was present in 22 of the 46 patients. TIMI 2 and 3 reperfusions were both generally visualized by color TTDE. However, peak distal LAD flow velocity by pulsed TTDE was significantly greater in patients with TIMI 3 compared with those with TIMI 2 (40+/-10 vs 20+/-6 cm/s, P= 25 cm/s by TTDE had a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 77%, 94%, and 89%, respectively.Conclusion-TTDE enables noninvasive differentiation of TIMI 3 from TIMI
