TI  - Impact of electrical neurostimulation on persistent ST elevation after successful 
      reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
PG  - 522-6
AB  - AIMS: To study the effect of electrical neurostimulation on the ST segment shift 
      in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with residual ST 
      elevation after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: After 
      primary PCI, 38 patients with STEMI were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 received 
      15 minutes of active neurostimulation after the baseline electrocardiogram (ECG); 
      group 2 received 15 minutes of active neurostimulation after 15 minutes of 
      nonactive neurostimulation. RESULTS: In group 1, ST elevation decreased with 
      neurostimulation from 0.65 +/- 0.56 to 0.55 +/- 0.51 (P = .02) and to 0.50 +/- 
      0.52 (P = .01) without electrical neurostimulation. In group 2, ST elevation 
      changed without neurostimulation from 0.37 +/- 0.32 to 0.33 +/- 0.30 (P = NS) and 
      to 0.28 +/- 0.27 (P = .01) with electrical neurostimulation. In a posthoc 
      analysis, 17 responders had higher ST elevation at the ECG before active 
      electrical neurostimulation than 21 nonresponders (P = .001). CONCLUSION: 
      Electrical neurostimulation may result in significant additional reduction of ST 
      elevation in STEMI after reperfusion treatment, in particular in patients with 
      marked ST elevation on the first ECG after successful primary PCI.
