Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Left Ventricular Mechanical Uniformity Alterations for Risk Assessment After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Left Ventricular Mechanical Uniformity Alterations for Risk Assessment After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Background Despite limitations as a stand‐alone parameter, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction is the preferred measure of myocardial function and marker for postinfarction risk stratification. LV myocardial uniformity alterations may provide superior prognostic information after acute myocardia...
