About

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In spite of decrease in acute and long-term mortality following STEMI in parallel with more use of reperfusion therapy, such as primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), modern antithrombotic therapy, and secondary prevention, mortality remains considerable. Reduced EF is a well-known predictor of increased short and long term major adverse cardiovascular events MACE :( heart failure, stroke and death)
