Abstract:Background: Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function and volume after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is recommended to guide clinical decision within and after hospitalization. Early after STEMI, initial LV reshaping and hypokinesia may affect analysis of LV function. A comparative evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and stroke volume (SV) by different imaging modalities to assess LV function early after STEMI has not been performed so far. Methods: LV function was a… Show more
