PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 3-5 post-PCI

Population: There were 12 patients whose MRI data were not usable, including 6 in the post conditioning + PCI group and 6 in the standard PCI group.

Infarct size was quantified by delayed, contrast-enhanced MRI

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 3-5 post-PCI

Population: There were 18 patients we were unable to obtain myocardial salvage indexes for, including 10 in the post conditioning + PCI group and 8 in the standard PCI group.

The myocardial salvage index (MSI) was calculated using the formula: MSI = (AAR - Infarct size) / AAR X 100 % where quantitative estimation of myocardium at risk (AAR) was measured as the hyperintense region on T2- weighted imaging. Measurements were performed using the QMass software package (Medis mc, Raleigh NC) by a single investigator who was blinded to treatment. The endocardial and epicardial borders were manually identified and the regions of interest (edema or scar) were automated as 2 standard deviations above the mean density of the myocardium.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 3-5 post-PCI

Population: There were 8 patients in which were unable to determine the presence or absence of MVO, including 4 in the post conditioning + PCI group and 4 in the standard PCI group.

High T1 imaging was utilized for the determination of the presence or absence of MVO.

Population: There were 4 patients who did not have an LVEDV measurement done, including 2 in the post conditioning + PCI group and 2 in the standard PCI group.

LVEDV was defined as the volume of blood in the left ventricle at end load or filling in diastole or the amount of blood in the ventricles just before systole.
