Microvascular function is increasingly being recognized as an important marker of risk in coronary artery disease, and may be accurately assessed by intracoronary Doppler flow velocity measurements. In the setting of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction there are limited data regarding the prognostic value of microvascular function in both infarct-related and reference coronary arteries for long-term clinical outcome. We sought to determine the prognostic value of microvascular function, as assessed by Doppler flow velocity measurements, for cardiac mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.
