Strain Analysis in the Detection of Myocardial Infarction at the Acute and Chronic Stages

Background Myocardial ischemia causes contractile dysfunction in ischemic, stunned, and tethered regions with larger infarcted zones having a negative prognostic impact on patients' outcomes. To distinguish the infarcted myocardium from the other regions, we investigated the diagnostic potentia...
