Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Acute myocardial infarction, with at least one coronary segment (culprit lesion) treated with PCI within 48 hours: a. Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with all of the following: i. Onset of relevant pain suggestive of cardiac ischemia within ≤24h of index angiography ii. ECG-changes (in the absence of left ventricular hypertrophy or left bundle branch block): ST-segment elevation at the J point in at least two contiguous leads ≥0.25 mV in men <40 years, ≥0.2 mV in men ≥40 years, or ≥0.15 mV in women in leads V2-V3; and/or ≥0.1 mV in all other leads. or b. Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), with rise and/or fall in cardiac troponin I or T with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit.\n- At least two major native coronary arteries (“study vessels”) each meeting the following criteria for intracoronary imaging immediately following the qualifying Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedure: a. Angiographic evidence of a reduction in lumen diameter between >20 and <50% by angiographic visual estimation b. Study vessel deemed to be accessible to imaging catheters and suitable for intracoronary imaging in the proximal (50 mm) segment (“study segment”) c. Study vessel may not be a bypass (saphenous vein or arterial) graft or a bypassed native vessel d. Study vessel must not have undergone previous PCI within the study segment e. A vessel which is candidate for intervention at the time of qualifying PCI or over the following 6 months in the judgment of the Investigator, cannot be a study vessel\n- Hemodynamic stability (as assessed by the treating physician) allowing the repetitive administration of nitroglycerine during the study specific imaging procedure"}

Exclusion criteria

Previous or current estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min/1.73m2 b. Chronic haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.\n- Active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction defined as at least one of the following: a.
