Brief Summary
The study will see if mechanical impulses delivered by an echocardiographic probe during a continuous infusion of MRX 801 are capable of improving blood flow in smaller heart vessels in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Improved microvascular recanalization and epicardial recanalization rates in STEMI as assessed by coronary angiography and recovery of regional microvascular perfusion and function in the post-infarction period.

Study Arms (1)
High MI impulses, myocardial infarction, echocardiography
EXPERIMENTALUsing the transthoracic three dimensional imaging probe, low mechanical index (MI) will examine wall motion. Intermittent high MI impulses will be administered over the microvasculature where there are wall motion abnormalities using an imaging plan that best aligns itself with the risk area. One vial of MRX 801 to be infused intravenously during echocardiography with high mechanical index impulses.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female, age ≥ 30 years.
- Chest Pain occurring lasting less than six hours from onset, and EKG evidence of an acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.
You may not qualify if:
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity to ultrasound contrast agent used for the study.
- Complicated hemodynamic instability (i.e., NYHA Class IV heart failure, unstable angina at rest despite medical therapy).
- Life expectancy of less than two months or terminally ill.
- Heart transplant recipient, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, severe valvular disease, acute myo- or pericarditis.
- Contraindication to Heart Catheterization
- Known bleeding diathesis or contraindication to glycoprotein 2b/3a inhibitors or aspirin.
