The time course and relationships of myocardial hemorrhage and edema in patients after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are uncertain.
Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging on 4 occasions: at 4 to 12 hours, 3 days, 10 days, and 7 months after reperfusion. Myocardial edema (native T2) and hemorrhage (T2*) were measured in regions of interest in remote and injured myocardium. Myocardial hemorrhage was taken to represent a hypointense infarct core with a T2* value <20 ms. Thirty patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (mean age 54 years; 25 [83%] male) gave informed consent. Myocardial hemorrhage occurred in 7 (23%), 13 (43%), 11 (33%), and 4 (13%) patients at 4 to 12 hours, 3 days, 10 days, and 7 months, respectively, consistent with a unimodal pattern. The corresponding median amounts of myocardial hemorrhage (percentage of left ventricular mass) during the first 10 days after myocardial infarction were 2.7% (interquartile range [IQR] 0.0-5.6%), 7.0% (IQR 4.9-7.5%), and 4.1% (IQR 2.6-5.5%; P<0.001). Similar unimodal temporal patterns were observed for myocardial edema (percentage of left ventricular mass) in all patients (P=0.001) and for infarct zone edema (T2, in ms: 62.1 [SD 2.9], 64.4 [SD 4.9], 65.9 [SD 5.3]; P<0.001) in patients without myocardial hemorrhage. Alternatively, in patients with myocardial hemorrhage, infarct zone edema was reduced at day 3 (T2, in ms: 51.8 [SD 4.6]; P<0.001), depicting a bimodal pattern. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume increased from baseline to 7 months in patients with myocardial hemorrhage (P=0.001) but not in patients without hemorrhage (P=0.377).
The temporal evolutions of myocardial hemorrhage and edema are unimodal, whereas infarct zone edema (T2 value) has a bimodal pattern. Myocardial hemorrhage is prognostically important and represents a target for therapeutic interventions that are designed to preserve vascular integrity following coronary reperfusion.

急性ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者心肌出血和水肿的时间进程及关系尚不确定。
接受直接经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的ST段抬高型心肌梗死患者在再灌注后4至12小时、3天、10天和7个月接受了4次心脏磁共振成像检查。在梗死心肌和梗死周边心肌的感兴趣区域测量心肌水肿(T2加权像)和出血(T2加权像)。心肌出血被定义为T2值<20 ms的低信号梗死核心。30例ST段抬高型心肌梗死患者(平均年龄54岁;25例[83%]为男性)签署了知情同意书。心肌出血分别发生在7例(23%)、13例(43%)、11例(33%)和4例(13%)患者中,时间分别为4至12小时、3天、10天和7个月,呈现单峰模式。心肌梗死后前10天心肌出血的相应中位数(占左心室质量的百分比)分别为2.7%(四分位间距[IQR] 0.0 - 5.6%)、7.0%(IQR 4.9 - 7.5%)和4.1%(IQR 2.6 - 5.5%;P<0.001)。所有患者的心肌水肿(占左心室质量的百分比)(P = 0.001)以及无心肌出血患者的梗死区水肿(T2值,单位为ms:62.1 [标准差2.9]、64.4 [标准差4.9]、65.9 [标准差5.3];P<0.001)也观察到类似的单峰时间模式。相反,在有心肌出血的患者中,梗死区水肿在第3天减少(T2值,单位为ms:51.8 [标准差4.6];P<0.001),呈现双峰模式。有心肌出血的患者左心室舒张末期容积从基线增加至7个月(P = 0.001),而无出血的患者则无增加(P = 0.377)。
心肌出血和水肿的时间演变呈单峰模式,而梗死区水肿(T2值)呈双峰模式。心肌出血具有预后重要性,是旨在冠状动脉再灌注后维持血管完整性的治疗干预目标。
