Predictive Value of Tissue Doppler Imaging For Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction And Infarct Size Versus Myocardial Perfusion Imaging After Primary Percautaneous Coronary Intervention For Acute Myocardial Infarction

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

The main goal in the management of acute myocardial 
infarction (MI) is an early restoration of coronary 
artery flow in order to preserve viable myocardium, 
primary percautaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has 
been proven to be superior to other reperfusion 
strategies in terms of mortality reduction and 
preservation of left ventricular (LV) function. (Zilstra
F et al., 1999). Decreased LVEF and LV 
remodelling are associated with adverse prognosis. 
Therefore, early identification of high-risk patients is 
crucial. (Joost P et al., 2010).
