Background and aim: We sought to determine the association of reciprocal change in the
ST-segment with myocardial injury assessed by syntax score in patients with ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI).
Patients and methods: The studyincluded sixty patients who were presented to Emergency
room with STEMI and underwent primary PCI.Echocardiographic evaluation was performed
within 24 h of PPCI. We assessed the severity of CAD using syntax and gensini score.
Results: There was significant difference regarding echocardiographic data and gensini
scorebetween the two studied groups.
Conclusion: We concluded that patients with high syntax score with reciprocal ST segment
changes had worse echocardiographic finding and high gensini score in patients undergoing
primary PCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction.
