The study intends to provide important data on whether the noval method using quantitative flow ratio could predict microvascular dysfunction.
Microvascular dysfunction (MVD) is a serious complication of PCI, which happens frequently after STEMI and always correlates with a poor prognosis. However, precise and simplified assessment of MVD is difficult, especially in the acute phase of STEMI patients. Resent studies suggested that FFR could be overestimated when MVD exists. But whether the overestimated value of FFR caused by CMR defined MVO could reflect microcirculation function is still unclear. This study is a retrospective study using STEMI patients who underwent pharmaco-invasive strategy as the population. Contrast-enhanced CMR was performed 5 days after PCI as the reference standard.

OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
Computation of QFR was performed offline, using AngioPlus system(Pluse medical imaging technology, Shanghai, China). In the first step, 2 diagnostic angiographic projections before PCI, at least 25° apart, were selected and 3D reconstruction of the interrogated vessel without its side branches was performed. Then, the software computed the QFR.

TIMI Flow Grade (TFG)
TIMI Flow Grade (TFG) assesses flow in the epicardial arteries. Type zero perfusion expressed not antegrade movement away the occlusion; type two is a minimum, inadequate perfusion of contrast average round the mass; type three (partial perfusion) is a perfect just limited perfusion from the distal coronary bed by contrast element; and type three (complete perfusion) is an antegrade movement to the whole distal artery at a regular flow.
Time frame: One mins before PCI

TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG)
TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG) assesses flow in the micrevessels. TMPG0: no or minimal blush; TMPG1: Stain present Blush persists on next injection; TMPG2: Dye strongly persistent at end of washout Gone by next injection; TMPG3: normal ground glass appearance of blush Dye mildly persistentat end of washout.
