Diastolic dysfunction after STEMI: distinct mechanistic pathways revealed by CMR and echocardiography
Left ventricular (LV) diastole comprises active relaxation, chamber compliance, and filling pressure response. Whether these functional components reflect distinct patterns of myocardial injury early after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. We studied 258 STEMI patients (mean age 5...
