Estimated Effects on CMR Parameters Associated With a 20% Increase in IMR (mm Hg/s) Derived From Multivariable Models With Adjustment for Confounders at Both Time Points

IMR Effect 95% CI P
Multivariable associations,* early CMR (2 days)
Area at risk, % 0.98 0.33 to 1.64 0.004
Infarct size, % 1.68 1.01 to 2.34 <0.001
Myocardial salvage index, % −3.43 −4.86 to −2.00 <0.001
Microvascular obstruction, % 0.21 0.02 to 0.40 0.028
Hemorrhage, % 0.19 0.08 to 0.31 0.002
Left ventricular ejection fraction, % −0.64 −1.16 to −0.12 0.017
Multivariable associations, late CMR (3 months)
Infarct size, % −0.08 −0.47 to 0.31 0.680
Myocardial salvage index, % −0.19 −1.31 to 0.94 0.744
Left ventricular ejection fraction, % −0.19 −0.56 to 0.18 0.315

Results are additive effects on the CMR parameter.

For all baseline CMR outcomes, adjustment was made for the following variables: previous MI, sex, pain‐to‐balloon time, door‐to‐balloon time, thrombectomy, catheterization laboratory pulse pressure, TIMI flow, corrected TIMI frame count, and percent of ST elevation still present after PCI.

For all follow‐up CMR outcomes, we adjusted for baseline value of the CMR parameter, age, door‐to‐balloon time, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, TIMI flow, and percent of ST elevation still present after PCI.
