cardiac imaging to assess left ventricular volumes and function
cardiac imaging to assess left ventricular volumes and function: non-invasive cardiac imaging (echocardiography and MRI)
Study summary
Following myocardial infarction, female individuals demonstrate a poorer prognosis, characterized by elevated rates of mortality and heart failure. A primary hypothesis suggests unfavorable cardiac remodeling in women. This remodeling, defined as alterations in cardiac size and shape post-infarction, necessitates repeated non-invasive imaging for study.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Asses left ventricular remodeling disparities between genders — baseline; 3 months and 1 year after myocardial infarction onset The primary outcome measure will be the occurrence of left ventricular remodeling (defined as a change in ventricular volume of more than 10% during follow-up) measured with cardiac imaging (echocardiography and MRI)
