Popis: This study investigates the relation of non-invasive myocardial work and myocardial viability following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) assessed on late gadolinium contrast enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE CMR) and characterizes the remote zone using non-invasive myocardial work parameters. STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included. Several non-invasive myocardial work parameters were derived from speckle tracking strain echocardiography and sphygmomanometric blood pressure, e.g.: myocardial work index (MWI), constructive work (CW), wasted work (WW) and myocardial work efficiency (MWE). LGE was quantified to determine infarct transmurality and scar burden. The core zone was defined as the segment with the largest extent of transmural LGE and the remote zone as the diametrically opposed segment without LGE. A total of 53 patients (89% male, mean age 58 +/- 9 years) and 689 segments were analyzed. The mean scar burden was 14 +/- 7% of the total LV mass, and 76 segments (11%) demonstrated transmural hyperenhancement, 280 (41%) non-transmural hyperenhancement and 333 (48%) no LGE. An inverse relation was observed between segmental MWI, CW and MWE and infarct transmurality (p < 0.05). MWI, CW and MWE were significantly lower in the core zone compared to the remote zone (p
