Are there sex-specific differences and predictors of reverse left ventricular remodeling in STEMI patients with LVEF ≤ 50% after successful primary angioplasty?
Baseline myocardial work indices (such as GWE) strongly predict LV reverse remodeling after STEMI, with men showing more favorable recovery than women.
: LV reverse remodeling after STEMI is associated with improved clinical outcomes and is influenced by sex-specific differences. Baseline myocardial work indices, particularly GWE, are strong predictors of reverse remodeling. Men demonstrated a more favorable remodeling profile and myocardial recovery compared to women.
