Abstract
The impact of infarct size on regional and global left ventricular systolic function: a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study
Highlights
Myocardial infarction results in myocardial scarring which can have an impact on left ventricular (LV) stiffness and contractile function, leading to reduced LV systolic function and LV remodelling, controversy remains about the relation between scar extension and segmental wall motion contractility global systolic function, and LV remodelling
133 patients with previous (>6 month) myocardial infarction were retrospectively enrolled in the study
A total of 2261 segments were studied: regional wall motion abnormalities were present in 1032 segments (45 %) and 724 (32 %) showed presence of myocardial infarction and segments
