We aimed to investigate clinical, demographic and angiographic factors associated with hyperemic coronary blood flow (HCBF) and the relation of HCBF with mortality at 30 days. Our study included 809 consecutive patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We divided corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count (TFC) values into three tertiles: less than 14, 14-28 and more than 28. Corrected TFC less than 14 was defined as HCBF or TIMI intravenous flow. The primary end-point of the present study was all-cause mortality within 30 days. Among the HCBF group (n = 58), the patients with poor myocardial perfusion demonstrated the highest mortality rate within the 30-day follow-up period (33%). Low TIMI myocardial perfusion grade, history of no smoking, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and high Killip status and low LVEF were found to be independently associated with 1-month all-cause mortality. The present study showed that HCBF after primary PCI has a high 30-day mortality when associated with impaired reperfusion.
