Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of scar and ischemia burden early after acute ST elevation and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction

Table 1 Demographics and presenting characteristics of patients in the three study groups.

	NSTEMI (n = 25)	Non-Q STEMI (n = 25)	Q-STEMI (n = 25)
Age – yr	57 (± 9.3)	60 (± 9.1)	57 (± 8.9)
Male	22 (88%)	20 (80%)	23 (92%)
Risk factors – no. (%)
Diabetes mellitus	5 (20%)	1 (4%)	6 (24%)
Hypertension	9 (36%)	3 (12%)	4 (16%)
Known CAD	3 (12%)	2 (8%)	2 (8%)
Family history of CAD	13 (52%)	8 (32%)	10 (40%)
Current smoker	12 (48%)	12 (48%)	15 (60%)
Previous revascularisation	0	0	0
Presenting characteristics
Systolic BP (mmHg)	129 (± 17.1)	133 (± 21.7)	128 (± 18.8)
TIMI score*	2.7 (± 1.4)	2.1 (± 1.4)	2.7 (± 2.1)

*The TIMI risk scores for NSTEMI and STEMI are different, so that the only statistical comparison is between Non-Q STEMI and Q-STEMI (unpaired t-test). CAD = coronary heart disease; BP = blood pressure.
