About this trial
The goal of this observational study To evaluate the predictive value of left atrial strain for in-hospital outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing PPCI. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is low parameters of left atrial strain associated early complication ? What is the correlation between LA strain parameters and conventional echocardiographic indices of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function ? Is there more affection to LA strain in certain territory over the others ? What is the correlation between LA strain and LA volume index across infarct territories ? Does LA strain Correlate with TAPSE and PASP to evaluate right-heart interactions ?
