Search was restricted to studies within the last 20 years. All studies that matched the pre-defined search criteria were reviewed and their results interpreted. Due to considerable heterogeneity between studies,metaanalysis was not performed.RESULTS: A total of seven studies(n = 7) were identified that matched the search criteria. All studies used STE to evaluate strain parameters- five(n = 5) assessed global longitudinal strain(GLS)(n = 5),one assessed GLS rate(GLS-R)(n = 1) and one assessed both(n = 1). Three studies showed that GLS independently predicted the development of adverse LV remodelling by multivariate analysis- odds ratio between 1.19(CI: 1.04-1.37,P < 0.05) and 10(CI: 6.7-14,P < 0.001) depending on the study. Four studies showed that GLS predicted the development of MACE- hazard ratio(HR) between 1.1(CI: 1-1.1,P = 0.006) and 2.34(1.10-4.97,P < 0.05). One paper found that GLS-R could significantly predict MACEHR 18(10-35,P < 0.001)- whilst another showed it did not. GLS <-10.85% had sensitivity/specificity of 89.7%/91% respectively for predicting the development of remodelling whilst GLS <-13% could predict the development of MACE with sensitivity/specificity of 100%/89% respectively. No suitable studies were identified that assessed global strain by CMR tagging or FT techniques.CONCLUSION: GLS measured acutely post-STEMI by STE is a predictor of poor prognosis. Further research is needed to show that this is true for CMR-based techniques.展开更多
