Abstract
After ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), microvascular obstruction (MVO) can be assessed using semiquantitative angiographic "blush" scores subject to interoperator variability. Quantitative Blush Evaluator (QuBE) is a free computer-calculated algorithm that evaluates myocardial blush on a continuous scale with improved reproducibility. We aimed to compare QuBE with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in detecting MVO and its severity.
