Left atrial myocardial deformation characteristics in patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction
Background: The left atrium (LA) plays an important role in left ventricular (LV) function, we investigated the LA myocardial deformation characteristics in patients presenting with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Forty STEMI patients (aged 54.78 ± 6.7, 92.5% men)...
