Why the study?
Left ventricular dysfunction following acute myocardial infarction identifies patients at higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest and death, motivating evaluation of TMAD compared to GLS as a predictor of outcomes.
Does Tissue Mitral Annular Displacement (TMAD) predict MI outcomes in comparison to Global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with STEMI?
Does Tissue Mitral Annular Displacement (TMAD) predict MI outcomes in comparison to Global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with STEMI?
Tissue mitral annular displacement and global longitudinal strain are useful echocardiographic tools for assessing LV systolic function and following up patients after STEMI.
Background; Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the days to months following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) identifies patients at higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and death, Aim and objectives: The aim of the study was to assess Tissue Mitral Annular Displacement (TMAD) as a predictor of MI outcomes in comparison to Global longitudinal strain (GLS). Subjects and methods: This single center study conducted in Banha University Hospital. Included 323 patients with STEMI and were followed up to 6 months. Result; mitral displacement and LV strain is useful in assessment and follow up STEMI patient. Conclusion: Left ventricular strain and mitral displacement were suitable for the assessment of global LV systolic function and follow up patients with myocardial infarction.
