GLS may refine post-anterior STEMI risk stratification; hypothesis-generating for location-specific prognostic value.
Does the prognostic impact of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) differ between anterior and nonanterior myocardial infarction in patients undergoing primary PCI for first STEMI?
Speckle tracking-derived GLS is a more sensitive predictor of mortality and heart failure hospitalization in patients with anterior STEMI compared to nonanterior STEMI.
