The Selvester 32-point QRS score for evaluation of myocardial infarct size after primary coronary angioplasty

Am J Cardiol. 1999 Jan 15;83(2):255-7, A5. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)00831-5.

Abstract

In patients treated successfully with primary angioplasty for a first myocardial infarction, the Selvester 32-point score correlates well with infarct size measured with quantitative thallium-201 perfusion imaging. Therefore, it is a useful parameter for infarct sizing, particularly in patients with anterior infarction or reduced ejection fraction at discharge.
