The relationship was evaluated retrospectively in 55 first-time STEMI patients 3 months after receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Selvester QRS score and DE-MRI MI size were significantly correlated, r = 0.41 (P < .01). The difference between the Selvester QRS score and DE-MRI was 5.8%MI of the left ventricle (95%confidence interval, 2.9%-8.6%). Furthermore, increasing difference between Selvester QRS score and DE-MRI was observed with increasing MI size.
Selvester QRS score correlated only moderately with DE-MRI MI size. Selvester QRS score overestimated MI size.
