Description

TIMI Flow as a method to assess myocardial reperfusion has been employed clinically ever since 1980's. TIMI Frame Count grading is a more objective, repeatable and correlative in variability than those of TIMI Flow. TMBG and TMP provide the reperfusion evaluation on myocardial microvascular level. Doppler contrast echocardiography could be used as an additional index to assess vessel recanalization and myocardial reperfusion. Moreover, MCE, continuous ECG monitoring of ST-segment, isotope imaging of myocardial reperfusion and myocardial-enhanced MRI can all be used as non-invasive evaluating approaches with great clinical value.
