Assessing the early prognosis of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction using left ventricular pressure-strain loop: a prospective randomized controlled clinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV-PSL) technique, which is noninvasive and independent of pressure load, is more sensitive than is left ventricular speckle tracking imaging in detecting subtle changes in myocardial function. This study evaluated the improvement in cardiac function after application of LV-PSL in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after acute myocardial infarction (MI) treated with sacubitril/valsartan plus dapagliflozin as compared to treatment with sacubitril/valsartan monotherapy.

Methods

This prospective, multicenter, open-label study recruited 60 MI survivors with HFrEF between March 2021 and June 2022. The patients were randomly assigned in 1:1 groups, as stratified by center. Patients were randomly
