Why the study?
The relationship between myocardial global longitudinal strain (GLS) and biomarkers or echocardiographic parameters, and its changes before and immediately after PCI in patients with acute STEMI, needed investigation.
Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve global longitudinal strain in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction?
Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve global longitudinal strain in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction?
Global longitudinal strain measured by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography correlates well with cardiac biomarkers and LV function, and shows early improvement within 24 hours after PCI in patients with STEMI.

Pre-PCI GLS may refine injury assessment beyond EF in STEMI; hypothesis-generating for outcome trials before routine adoption.
