A study conducted by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai explores the role of muscular left ventricular false tendons (FTs) in individuals with normal left ventricles and those who have experienced anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI). The study utilized echocardiographic LV strain imaging software to measure LVFT longitudinal strain. The results showed that LVFTs in patients with AWMI develop positive strain, suggesting infarction, while LVFTs in individuals with normal hearts develop negative strain, potentially helping to maintain normal left ventricular size and shape. The study concludes that LV volumes after AWMI do not differ whether or not LVFTs are present. [Extracted from the article] |
