Association Between Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain and Adverse Left Ventricular Dilatation After ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarct size is a major determinant of left ventricular (LV) remodeling after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. We evaluated whether LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), proposed as a novel marker of infarct size, is associated with 3- and 6-month LV dilatation after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In the first ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with …
