Sequential cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction for prediction of subsequent events in a large multicenter STEMI registry
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – EU funding. Main funding source(s): This work was supported by “Instituto de Salud Carlos III” and “Fondos Europeos de Desarrollo Regional FEDER” Background. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the best tool for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) quantification, but as yet the prognostic value of sequential LVEF assessment for major adverse cardiac event (MACE) prediction after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is uncertain. Purpose. We explored the prognostic impact of sequential assessment of CMR-derived LVEF after STEMI to predict subsequent MACE. Methods. We recruited 1036 STEMI p…
EpCAM and microvascular obstruction in patients with STEMI: a cardiac magnetic resonance study
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – EU funding. Main funding source(s): This study was funded by “Instituto de Salud Carlos III” and “Fondos Europeos de Desarrollo Regional FEDER” Bachground. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) is negatively associated with cardiac structure and worse prognosis after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), involved in endothelium adhesion, is an understudied area in the MVO setting. Purpose. We aimed to evaluate whether EpCAM is associated with the appearance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived MVO and long-term systolic function in reperfused STEMI. Methods.…
