Clinical course and remodeling of left ventricle in patients with ST segment elevention acute myocardial infarction after primary coronary artery stenting by V.A. Skybchik, Yu.P. Melen

“…Patients with STEMI after a timely performed PCI have significantly lower levels of NT-proBNP, which is an early marker of LV remodelling. Diastolic dysfunction echocardiography signs in these patients are less pronounced, resulting in increased exercise tolerance at the end of hospitalization and improved quality of life defined by SAQ questionnaire.…”
