Cite This Study
Schuster et al. (2018) conducted an editorial in Myocardial infarction. Global longitudinal strain assessment via CMR feature tracking vs. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evaluated on Major adverse clinical event (MACE) prediction. Global longitudinal strain assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking has emerged as a superior measure for risk assessment and MACE prediction in myocardial infarction compared to LVEF.
