Introduction: Cardiac fibres are affected invariably in myocardial infarction, with longitudinal strain being the earliest to be detected in the ischaemic cascade. The present study aims to assess strain imaging in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients admitted to the cardiology department at our institute and correlate GLS and DESL findings with other markers for myocardial function. Methods and material: This augmented cross-sectional study was conducted amongst the patients admitted with diagnosis of AMI. During the study period, 157 subjects were sampled through convenience sampling, and examined as well as tested with routine investigations at baseline. The subjects were then followed through at first, third and six months, and findings noted. Chi-square was used to assess the crude association between sample characteristics. Pearson correlation and student t-test were used to find association between continuous variables. Results: After screening 564 patients, 157 patients were included in the study after fulfilment of inclusion and exclusion criteria. A significant difference was found in baseline GLS scores and NTproBNP levels at 6 months in alive patients with STEMI, t (21.728) = −5.717, p |
