Longitudinal strain in patients with STEMI using speckle tracking echocardiography. Correlation with peak infarction mass and ejection fraction

Conclusions Assessment of IS by echocardiography after PCI in patients with STEMI was superior with GLS and WMSI when compared with LVEF and ESVI. Since global strain is an inexpensive test, these data may be of health economic interest.
