Why the study?
Adverse left ventricular remodelling after acute myocardial infarction can progress despite successful PCI, potentially leading to congestive heart failure and poor clinical outcomes.
Can Two Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography assess left ventricular remodeling in patients after acute myocardial infarction?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography is discussed as a tool for assessing adverse left ventricular remodeling following acute myocardial infarction.
Adverse left ventricular remodelling (LVR), defined as progressive ventricular dilatation, distortion of chamber shape, myocardial hypertrophy and deteriorating function, begins in some patients who suffered from acute myocardial infarction (AMI), sometimes even after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). If uninterrupted, it could lead to congestive heart failure (CHF) and a poor clinical outcome.
