Circumferential strain acquired by CMR early after acute myocardial infarction adds incremental predictive value to late gadolinium enhancement imaging to predict late myocardial remodeling and subsequent risk of sudden cardiac death
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology Nov 19, 2017
Holmes AA, et al. - With respect to the prediction of late remodeling and sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-measured circumferential strain (CS) was assessed as a source of incremental predictive information to late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). When performed early after AMI, LGE moderately, but CS strongly, predicted late remodeling. Data suggested that conjointly, they can predict late remodeling, a surrogate of SCD, with high accuracy.
