OBJECTIVES We rested the hypothesis that the reperfusion syndrome (RS), defined as an additional elevation of the ST segment upon reperfusion, may be a marker of microcirculatory reperfusion injury during acute myocardial infarction (AMI).BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of the RS is unknown, and its prognostic implications are controversial.METHODS Twenty-one patients with an anterior AMI treated less than or equal to 12 h after onset by primary coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were studied. Coronary velocity reserve (CVR), an index of microcirculatory function, was measured using a Doppler guidewire. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, infarct size (percent defect) and LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVi) were evaluated by radionuclide ventriculography, (201)T1 single-photon emission computed tomography and contrast ventriculography, respectively.RESULTS Baseline ST elevation and pain-to-TIMI 3 time were similar in patients with and without RS. Patients with RS (10/21) had a lower post-PTCA CVR than patients without RS (median [95% confidence interval]: 1.2 [1-1.3] vs. 1.6 [1.5-1.7], p < 0.005). Even though predischarge CVR was similar in the two groups, infarct size at six weeks (26 [21 to 37] vs. 14 [10-17] % (201)T1 defect, p = 0.001) and predischarge LVESVi (45% [40 to 52] vs. 30% [29 to 38] mL/m(2), p = 0.001) were larger, and LV ejection fraction at six weeks (40% [37 to 46] vs. 55% [50 to 60], p = 0.004) was lower in patients with RS than in patients without RS.CONCLUSIONS Patients with RS during primary PTCA for an anterior AMI have a transiently lower CVR than patients without RS, but sustained LV dysfunction and larger infarct size, suggesting that RS is a marker of microcirculatory reperfusion injury.
