To evaluate remote myocardial function after @entity583 ( @entity583 ) and the impact of @entity1188 size (IS) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). 161 @entity1 and 15 controls underwent CMR at 1st week and 6th month after @entity583 . Using the 17-segments model, segments were categorized into infarcted, adjacent and remote myocardium. Relative systolic wall thickening (SWT, %) was assessed using the centerline method. IS (% of left ventricular mass) was determined in late enhancement imaging. Overall, in remote myocardium, SWT was comparable (83    32) to controls (77    25, P = .5) and did not increase significantly (P = .2) at the 6th month (88    35, P = .3 vs. control). When IS was categorized into tertiles (<13.6%, (n = 49), 13.7-28.2%, (n = 60), >28.2%, (n = 52)), SWT in the remote area at the 1st week was not different from controls, regardless of @entity1188 size (p between .2 and .8 for all tertiles). At 6 months, SWT was larger compared to controls only in small @entity1188 (98    34 vs. 77    25, P = .03). In medium and large @entity1188 there was no difference in SWT of the remote area compared to controls (87    33 and 79    34, P = .3 and P = .09) and there was no significant increase at 6 months (P between .2 and .9). In remote myocardium there was no difference in contractility compared to controls after @entity583 . After 6 month a slight hypercontractility can only be observed in small @entity1188 . In medium and large @entity1188 no difference of SWT in remote myocardium compared to controls can be observed.
