Longitudinal strain in patients with STEMI using speckle tracking echocardiography. Correlation with peak infarction mass and ejection fraction
Aim: Our objective was to assess the global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with STEMI in the first 24 h after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its correlation with LV infarction size and ejection fraction.
