Assessing myocardial work to predict left ventricular remodeling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: associations with left atrial and left ventricular strain
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the standard marker for systolic function, but it fails to detect subtle changes in myocardial contractility in patients after an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Thus, a new way to evaluate left ventricular (LV) function with high precision is needed to assess di...
