Longitudinal peak strain detects a smaller risk area than visual assessment of wall motion in acute myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND: Opening of an occluded infarct related artery reduces infarct size and improves survival in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this study we performed tissue Doppler analysis (peak strain, displacement, mitral annular movement (MAM)) and compared with visual assessment...
