r-LVR may aid post-PCI STEMI risk stratification; leaves open whether targeting remodelling improves outcomes.
Does reverse left ventricular remodelling predict long-term event-free survival in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI?
Reverse left ventricular remodeling occurs in nearly 40% of STEMI patients after primary PCI, is driven by preserved microvascular perfusion, and independently predicts favorable 2-year event-free survival.
