AB  - OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify angiographic features that would predict 
      myocardial viability after coronary intervention for ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI). METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who 
      attended Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, between January and 
      December 2019 with a STEMI. RESULTS: A total of 72 patients (61 male; mean age = 
      54.9 +/- 12.7 years) were included in the study; 11 patients had evidence of 
      non-viability on echocardiography. There were 13 patients with viable myocardium 
      and 3 with non-viable myocardium who had a myocardial blush grade (MBG) of 2 or 
      lower. Similarly, 10 patients with viability and 1 with non-viable myocardium had 
      thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow of 2 or lower in the infarct 
      related artery (IRA). However, none of these were statistically significant. The 
      TIMI flow in the IRA at the end of the procedure correlated with the MBG. 
      CONCLUSION: There were no clear angiographic features during primary angioplasty 
      that could predict myocardial viability.
