Why the study?
Does the recovery of left ventricular transmural mechanics correlate with the improvement of global left ventricular function after primary PCI in patients with STEMI?
Does the recovery of left ventricular transmural mechanics correlate with the improvement of global left ventricular function after primary PCI in patients with STEMI?
Recovery of left ventricular subendocardial longitudinal strain underlies the improvement in global left ventricular function after primary PCI in STEMI patients.

May aid post-PCI risk stratification in STEMI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
