Why the study?
Does global myocardial strain assessed by CMR acutely following STEMI predict adverse LV remodelling independent of infarct size?
Population
65 patients with acute STEMI, mean age 60 ± 11 years
Comparison
Global peak systolic circumferential strain and… vs Infarct size (IS)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
4 months

Baseline CMR strain does not predict adverse LV remodelling post-STEMI; hypothesis-generating for its incremental value beyond infarct size.
Does global myocardial strain assessed by CMR acutely following STEMI predict adverse LV remodelling independent of infarct size?
Baseline global strain measured by CMR does not predict adverse LV remodeling following STEMI, whereas infarct size remains a significant predictor.
