Early left ventricular dyssynchrony in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction: A gated single photon emission computed tomography study
Introduction: The resulting left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in acute STEMI is definitely secondary to loss of myocardial muscle mass (Krumholz et al., 2009; Guerchicoff et al., 2014) but may have an additional component of LV dyssynchrony.
