AIM: To determine the influence of the time gap between acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation and intracoronary intervention performed later than 2.5 hours on myocardium, we studied indicators of perfusion over time with an aid of SPECT, including intraventricular asynchrony (2-4 days and 6-8 months after stent installation). MATERIALS AND METHOD: We observed 22 patients with multivessel coronary lesion. The Russian program with the analysis of perfusion, function and the phase images was used in SPECT synchronized with ECG. RESULTS: Showed that the time gap prior to coronary intervention in the acute phase of myocardial infarction may be directly connected with the increase in impaired perfusion during the end-systole and the severity of pathological intraventricular asynchrony without ECG signs. All patients had significantly decreased wall mobility and intraventricular asynchrony together with increased R-R interval in the late period (after 6-8 months) independently from the coronary intervention time. In patients of group 1 (coronary intervention within 6 hours), focal transmural lesions of myocardium significantly decreased. CONCLUSION: Late revascularization help decrease intraventricular asynchrony reducing the risk of heart failure in future.
