Eligibility:
All Genders
20-90 years
Brief Summary
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been well described in previous studies. However, there is a paucity of data on the incidence of and risk factors for LV re...
Detailed Description
We are currently witnessing the advent of new diagnostic tools and therapies for heart diseases, but,without serious scientific consensus on fundamental questions about normal and diseased heart struc...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Structurally normal mitral and aortic valve;
- Technically adequate color flow Doppler image;
- Technically adequate real-time 3D echocardiographic image of the LV chamber and the mitral apparatus (annulus and leaflets) to allow analysis of 3D geometry;
- Normal sinus rhythm.
Exclusion
- Recurrent MI or coronary reintervention during the follow up period;
- Clinical or echocardiographic evidence of other cardiac diseases, such as organic valvular, pericardial, congenital, or infiltrative heart disease;
- Right ventricular alterations resulting in abnormal position or movement of the septum.
