TIMI myocardial perfusion grade 0


 * Associate Editor-In-Chief:

Overview
Failure of dye to enter the microvasculature, indicating a lack of tissue level perfusion.


 * Intensity Range: 0


 * 0.5 = Minimal ground glass appearance (“blush”) or opacification of the myocardium in the distribution of the artery. Minimal blush is being defined as being either very small in size and/or being less intense or bright than “normal” blush.


 * Intensity Range: 0.5


 * Note - If no blush is present, the Qualitative Blush Analysis will all be “DNA=Does Not Apply” except for “Total Frames Elapsed in which Blush is Present” which would be “0”, “Total frames in Cinerun” and the venous system assessments.
