This editorial refers to ‘Incidence, determinants, and prognostic value of reverse left ventricular remodelling after primary percutaneous coronary intervention: results of the Acute Myocardial Infarction Contrast Imaging (AMICI) multicenter study’{dagger}, by S. Funaro et al. on page 566

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) constitutes ~40% of all acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which continues to be a significant public health problem in both developed and developing counties.1,2 Primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) is now established as the reperfusion therapy of choice after STEMI. The aim of reperfusion therapy for many years has focused on achieving epicardial artery patency at the site of the occlusive thrombus. It is now possible, through advances in interventional techniques and adjunctive pharmacological treatment, to achieve TIMI (Thrombosis In Myocardial Infarction) . . . [Full Text of this Article]
