Evaluation of Left Ventricular Remodeling and Prognosis after PCI in Acute Myocardial Infarction Using Real-Time, Three-Dimensional Echocardiography Combined with Layer-Specific Strain Imaging
Journal: The Heart Surgery Forum
Year: 2024

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate left atrial and left ventricular volumes, strains, and strain rates in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography and layer-specific strain techniques. The relationships between these parameters and left ventricular remodeling (LVR) and prognosis were also explored. Methods: The study included 217 patients with first-episode STEMI
