Relationship between location and size of myocardial infarction and their reciprocal influences on post-infarction left ventricular remodelling
Abstract
AIMS: To assess the intricate relationship between myocardial infarction (MI) location and size and their reciprocal influences on post-infarction left ventricular (LV) remodelling.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort of 260 reperfused ST-segment elevation MI patients was prospectively studied with cardiovascular magnetic resonance at 1 week (baseline) and 4 months (follow-up). Area at risk (AAR) and MI size were quantified by T2-weighted and …
