Incremental Value of Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function to Determine Outcome in Patients with Acute ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: The Echocardiographic Substudy of the OASIS‐6 Trial

Abstract

In this large international trial, LV systolic and diastolic function, as determined by echocardiography early following STEMI, are incremental predictors of MACE. In addition, RDF is a strong independent predictor of MACE after STEMI across a broad range of LVEF.
