What are the indications for angiography in patients with STEMI and HF?
Angiography is indicated for patients with STEMI and HF to assess the LV myocardium for ischemia, stunning, hibernation, or irrevocable injury, and viability assessment may be needed depending on the timing of revascularization. Inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system should be provided as tolerated, and the indications for beta-blocker therapy should also be evaluated.
