Why the study?

Does early prediction of long-term left ventricular dilatation correlate with clinical outcomes after myocardial infarction?

Population

13,679 patients early after myocardial infarction (median 9 days) from the GISSI-3 trial

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

6 months

Authors

Discussion

Implication

Risk stratification for post-MI LV dilatation identifies higher mortality and HF risk; hypothesis-generating pending prospective trials.

Does early prediction of long-term left ventricular dilatation correlate with clinical outcomes after myocardial infarction?

Population

13,679 patients early after myocardial infarction (median 9 days) from the GISSI-3 trial

Intervention

Application of a previously developed dilatation model to predict 6-month left ventricular volume index

Outcome

6-month left ventricular volume index and clinical outcomes (mortality, heart failure, reinfarction, angina pectoris)hard clinical

Early prediction of long-term left ventricular dilatation using a novel model correlates well with 6-month mortality and heart failure risk post-myocardial infarction.
