Dynamics in parameters of standard and 2D Speckle Tracking echocardiography in patients with acute primary anterior stemi

The aim of this study was to assess the early dynamics in parameters of heart biomechanics by standard and by 2 dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with acute primary anterior STEMI. The study comprised 35 patients aged 58.46±10.2 years. All of them underwent urgent reperfusion therapy delivered within the first 6 hours after onset of STEMI in 72% of the events. Echocardiography with 2D speckle tracking imaging was performed at day 1 (T1), 7 (T2), and 14 (T3) after STEMI onset (Vivid E9). The study did not show significant dynamics in the parameters of standard echocardiography. However, global longitudinal strain improved from T1 to T3 (p
