Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to asses the prognostic value of lung ultrasound in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.
Detailed Description: LUS-AMI is an observational cohort prospective study that evaluates the prognostic value of lung ultrasound, specifically the number of B-lines, performed within the first 24 hours after and ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction, by an independent operator blinded to clinical outcomes and off-line analysis by another independent operator also blinded to clinical outcomes. The primary outcome during hospitalization was a composite of clinically significant acute HF, cardiogenic shock, or death from any cause after LUS was performed. New-onset atrial fibrillation, acute renal injury (Acute Kidney Injury Network ≥ 1), and need for ventilatory support (invasive or non-invasive) during hospitalization were also analyzed as secondary outcomes. The primary outcome during follow-up is one year after STEMI is a composite of any cause mortality, hospitalization secondary to cardiovascular disease (aborted sudden cardiac arrest, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure or stroke) or need for urgent coronary revascularization. Secondary outcomes are new onset heart failure during hospitalization, acute kidney injury during hospitalization, new-onset atrial fibrillation/flutter during hospitalization, need of ventilatory support during hospitalization and new-onset clinically relevant arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation) during follow-up. A short-term follow-uo (30 days after prior PCI) will be also performed to analyze a combined endpoint of death from any cause or hospitalization due to acute HF or new acute coronary syndrome.
