Why the study?
The study investigated the predictive value of CMR-derived strains for post-infarction left ventricular adverse remodeling and clinical events in an East Asian cohort of STEMI patients.

CMR strains may predict post-STEMI LVAR and events in East Asians; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before clinical use.
Does early CMR-derived global longitudinal strain predict MACE and left ventricular adverse remodeling in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI?
Early CMR-derived global longitudinal strain is an independent predictor of MACE and adverse left ventricular remodeling in STEMI patients following primary PCI.
