7. Supplementary Figure 1
Screenshot of a coronary angiogram with example of the use of Quantitative Blush Evaluator (QuBE) software. A region of interest is manually drawn over the myocardium perfused by the infarct-related-artery (left panel), and a perfusion curve is generated (right panel). The curve represents the quantified value in all frames and the QuBE value equals the maximum increase (from frame 21 to frame 54) plus the maximum decrease (from frame 54 to frame 100).

8. Supplementary Figure 2
Quantification of Delayed Enhancement-MicroVascular Obstruction (DE-MVO). Short axis basal slice delayed enhancement image (left) demonstrating a large full thickness anteroseptal infarct with inferior wall involvement, and multiple zones of DE-MVO. Planimetry of endocardial and epicardial borders (right, white lines) and zones of DE-MVO (yellow lines) allow calculation of the volume of DE-MVO, expressed in grams and as percentage of myocardial mass.
