Does end-systolic global circumferential strain predict left ventricular functional recovery in STEMI patients?
End-systolic global circumferential strain derived from CMR feature-tracking is a strong, contrast-free predictor of functional recovery following STEMI.

Leung et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with baseline ejection fraction < 50% (n=31). End-systolic global circumferential strain (ES GCS) via CMR vs. Peak GCS and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was evaluated on Functional recovery at follow-up (defined by an EF ≥ 50% quantified by echocardiogram) (OR 0.046, 95% CI 0.005-0.453, p=0.008). End-systolic global circumferential strain measured via CMR early after primary PCI strongly predicted functional recovery in STEMI patients (OR 0.046, p=0.008).
