Table 14 Cardiovascular magnetic resonance studies illustrating the prognostic importance of myocardial salvage index in acute myocardial infarction

Ref.	Year	n	AAR, IS method	Main findings	CMR timepoint post STEMI	Follow-up
Eitel et al[34]	2011	208	> 2SD -STIR, > 5SD LGE	MSI was only CMR-based IP of mortality in model with age, IS, MVO, LVEF, TIMI- post PPCI, diabetes, age (IS not IP). MSI not IP of MACE (only IS, LVEF, age were)	3 d	19 mo
Eitel et al[161]	2010	208	> 2SD STIR, > 5SD LGE	MSI was only IP for MACE and mortality in model including LVEF, MVO, IS, ST-resolution and TIMI-grade post PCI	3 d	6 mo

IS: Infarct size; PCI: Percutaneous coronary intervention; MACE: Major adverse cardiovascular events; IP: Independent predictor; MVO: Microvascular obstruction; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction.
