Strain analysis is superior to wall thickening in discriminating between infarcted myocardium with and without microvascular obstruction

摘要

ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic performances of strain and wall thickening analysis in discriminating among three types of myocardium after acute myocardial infarction: non-infarcted myocardium, infarcted myocardium without microvascular obstruction (MVO) and infarcted myocardium with MVO.
