(1) Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients are at risk of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and heart failure (HF), even after successful revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We wanted to assess the independent predictors of these outcomes in AMI patients. (2) Methods: The study enrolled patients with a LVEF ≥50% after a successful PCI for their first AMI. After 24 months, patients were separated into two groups based on whether their LVEF remained ≥50% (group I), or decreased to p < 0.0001). The Killip class at admission >2, infarct-related longitudinal strain ≤−12.5%, and the presence of LV remodeling were identified as independent predictors of HF hospitalizations. (4) Conclusions: About 26% of AMI patients with normal LV function after a successful PCI developed HF. More sensitive techniques are required that allow for a more efficient risk-stratification and preventive therapy to reduce LV remodeling and HF in AMI patients with LVEF ≥50% after a successful PCI. The detection of abnormal ventricular deformation patterns after PCI by speckle-tracking echocardiography might be a valuable method in this approach. |
