Impact of Ejection Fraction on long-term outcome after ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction - comparison between cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and transthoracic echocardiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is a strong prognostic marker for clinical outcome after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In clinical practice echocardiography is most commonly used to assess EF, although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) might have higher accuracy. However, it remains unclear if measuring EF by CMR in comparison to echocardiography provides incremental prognostic information for the assessment of long-term outcome in patients with STEMI.

Impact of CMR parameters on prognosis after ST-elevation myocardial infarction - a comparison to traditional outcome markers
Background Infarct size, microvascular obstruction (MO) and the myocardial salvage index (MSI) assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) have been shown to be associated with adverse clinical outcome. However, in daily clinical routine prognosis after STEMI is evaluated using simple assessable parameters such as ST-segment resolution, enzymatic infarct size, preand post-PCI TIMI-flow...

Background Acute Inferior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (Ac-Inf-STEMI) and associated posterior and right ventricular (RV) infarction has been extensively studied with electrophysiology and echocardiography. A recent CMR study showed that poor RV function was associated with poor long term survival post myocardial infarction. However, limited CMR data exists especially on short term clinic...
