Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Post-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Abstract:Background:
Routinely, two-dimensional (2D) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is used to assess the left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Lately, global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) has emerged to be a more sensitive tool for assessing LV systolic function. We aimed to assess the superiority of GLPSS by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) before and within 48 h after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over 2D… Show more
