- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Myocardial Infarction (MI) size will be assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement[ One CMR performed at days 4-6 post MI]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of clinical events (death, MI, target vessel revasularization)[30 days post randomisation];Procedural success as assessed by coronary angiographic flow indices including Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade, corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC), and myocardial blush grade (MBG) in the infarct-related artery and cTFC in the non-infarct related artery.[Baseline at the time of the angioplasty.];Incidence and magnitude of CMR defined microvascular obstruction (MVO) and intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH)[Assessed by CMR completed once at 4-6 days post MI]
