Description

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a healthcare burden even though patient outcomes have significantly improved in recent years. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a cornerstone of establishing prognosis post STEMI. Current guidelines recommend follow-up imaging only in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) -7% versus 85% in patients with Δ GLS ≤-7% (p=0.001). On multivariate Cox regression analysis Δ GLS ≤-7% remained independently associated with the endpoint after adjustment for age, troponin T, kidney function, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, wide QRS complex, TAPSE and baseline LV GLS (HR 2.5 (95% CI 1.5-4.1); p
