Cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived left atrioventricular coupling index and major adverse cardiac events in patients following acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, a novel left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) has been introduced providing prognostic value to predict cardiovascular events beyond common risk factors in patients without cardiovascular disease. Since data on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LACI in patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are scarce, we aimed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic implications of LACI in a large AMI patient cohort.

Methods

In total, 1046 patients following AMI were included. After primary percutaneous coronary intervention CMR imaging and subsequent functional analyses were performed. LACI was defined by the ratio of the left atrial end-diastolic volume divided by the left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume. Major adverse cardiac e
