Early ST resolution after reperfusion is a prognostic indicator in acute myocardial infarction. Little information exists regarding the prognostic utility of ST resolution beyond 4 hours after fibrinolysis. Furthermore, the relation between time to treatment, ST resolution at 24 to 36 hours, and 1-year outcome has not been well studied. Accordingly, we undertook a prospective ECG substudy in the Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of a New Thrombolytic (ASSENT-2) trial to examine this.
