Myocardium at risk assessed by electrocardiographic scores and cardiovascular magnetic resonance - a MITOCARE substudy

We tested the performance of the electrocardiographic estimation of myocardium area at risk by Aldrich, Hasche and van Hellemond ECG scores in comparison to MaR measured by CMR in STEMI patients. MaR by the van Hellemond score and CMR were comparable, while Aldrich and Hasche underestimated MaR.
