Why the study?
Does transthoracic 3D echocardiography accurately identify the subsequent development of LV remodelling in patients after myocardial infarction?
Does transthoracic 3D echocardiography accurately identify the subsequent development of LV remodelling in patients after myocardial infarction?
The 3D sphericity index assessed by transthoracic 3D echocardiography is a highly predictive variable for the early identification of LV remodelling after myocardial infarction.
May aid early post-MI risk stratification by 3D sphericity index; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Three-dimensional echocardiography can differentiate patients with and without subsequent development of LV remodelling accurately and early on the basis of the 3D sphericity index, a new and highly predictive variable.
