BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent studies have shown that the Selvester QRS score is significantly correlated with delayed enhancement-magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) measured myocardial infarct (MI) size in reperfused ST elevation MI (STEMI). This study further tests the hypothesis that Selvester QRS score correlates well with MI size determined by DE-MRI in reperfused STEMI. METHODS AND RESULTS: The relationship was evaluated retrospectively in 55 first-time STEMI patients 3 months after receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Selvester QRS score and DE-MRI MI size were significantly correlated, r = 0.41 (P < .01). The difference between the Selvester QRS score and DE-MRI was 5.8% MI of the left ventricle (95% confidence interval, 2.9%-8.6%). Furthermore, increasing difference between Selvester QRS score and DE-MRI was observed with increasing MI size. CONCLUSION: Selvester QRS score correlated only moderately with DE-MRI MI size. Selvester QRS score overestimated MI size.
