Why the study?
Do novel biomechanical parameters derived from personalized mathematical models correlate with myocardial function changes and LVEF at 6 months in patients following acute STEMI?
Do novel biomechanical parameters derived from personalized mathematical models correlate with myocardial function changes and LVEF at 6 months in patients following acute STEMI?
Novel biomechanical parameters derived from personalized LV models, such as required contractility and systolic myofilament kinematics, strongly correlate with LVEF changes at 6 months post-STEMI.

These parameters may aid post-STEMI LVEF prediction; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
