Mitral annular plane systolic excursion by cardiac MR is an easy tool for optimized prognosis assessment in ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

• MAPSE determined by CMR independently predicts long-term prognosis following STEMI. • MACE-free survival is significantly higher in patients with MAPSE ≥ 9 mm than < 9 mm. • MAPSE provides significantly higher prognostic implication than conventional LVEF.
