Why the study?
MVO and LGE assessed by CMR are associated with adverse outcomes in STEMI, motivating an evaluation of the diagnostic performance of segmental strain to detect MVO and LGE.
Does CMR segmental myocardial strain accurately detect microvascular obstruction and late gadolinium enhancement in patients presenting after a ST-elevation myocardial infarction?
Comparison

May support strain as contrast-free MVO surrogate in STEMI; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Does CMR segmental myocardial strain accurately detect microvascular obstruction and late gadolinium enhancement in patients presenting after a ST-elevation myocardial infarction?
Segmental strain assessed by CMR feature tracking shows good diagnostic performance for detecting microvascular obstruction and late gadolinium enhancement, offering a potential contrast-free surrogate marker for early risk stratification in STEMI patients.
