Prediction of myocardial tissue loss by quantitative densitometric myocardial blush parameters following ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
UNLABELLED: Tissue level myocardial perfusion is one of the most important prognostic factors after successful recanalisation of the occluded coronary artery in patients suffering acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The primary objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between videodensitometric myocardial perfusion parameters as assessed on coronary angiograms directly following successful recanalization therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived myocardial tissue loss late after STEMI. The study comprised 29 STEMI patients. Videodensitometric parameter G(max)/T(max) was calculated to characterize myocardial perfusion, derived from the plateau of grey-level intensity (G(max)), divided by the time-to-peak intensity (Tmax). Myocardial loss index (MLI) was assessed by cardiac MRI following 376 ± 254 days after PCI. RESULTS: Significant correlations could be demonstrated between MLI and G(max) (r = 0.36, p = 0.05) and G(max)/T(max) (r = 0.40, p = 0.03) using vessel masking. Using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, G(max)/T(max) < 2.17 predicted best MLI = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 with good sensitivity and specificity data, while G(max)/T(max) < 3.25 proved to have a prognostic role in the prediction of MLI = 0.7. CONCLUSIONS: Selective myocardial tissue level perfusion quantitative measurement method is feasible and can serve as a good predictor of myocardial tissue loss following STEMI and revascularization therapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
