Abstract
Recovery of regional function after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction occurred within 2 days and could be detected by wall motion score, strain rate, and strain. However, strain and strain rate were better discriminative parameters for the changes in function as well as being better to assess near normalization on day 2. This could have a clinical impact on early management in patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention.
