The predictive value of left ventricular strain analysis in myocardial infarction with ventricular remodeling

The subtle changes of myocardial strain in patients with myocardial infarction complicated with ventricular remodeling remain unclear. We used the CMR-FT technique to investigate the degree of strain damage, the degree of scar tissue penetration and the long-term prognostic value after ventricular remodeling in 41 patients with old myocardial infarction. The results showed that the myocardial strain was of great value in quantitatively assessing the degree of myocardial damage, identifying the degree of scar tissue penetration in infarcted myocardium and predicting the long-term end events, especially GLS, which was the best predictor
