Myocardial strain characteristics in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular thrombus: a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a serious complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study investigated the magnetic resonance (MR) myocardial strain characteristics of LVT in patients without left ventricular aneurysm.

Methods

A total of 199 patients diagnosed with STEMI underwent cardiac MR (CMR) examination. According to the presence or absence of LVT, the patients were divided into two groups. There were 41 cases with LVT and 158 cases without LVT. Clinical data and CMR information were compared between the two groups, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular volume, myocardial thickening rate, and other cardiac function parameters, as well as circumferential strain (CS), radial strain (RS), longitu
