Association between Multilayer Left Ventricular Rotational Mechanics and the Development of Left Ventricular Remodeling after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The identification of patients at risk for developing left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has crucial prognostic implications. The aims of this study were (1) to investigate the relationship between peak subepicardial and subendocardial twist and infarct transmurality, as assessed using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and (2) to evaluate the association between peak subepicardial …
