Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) has incremental prognostic value over ejection fraction (EF) in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but it is also load dependent. It been recently demonstrated that Myocardial work (MW), integrating blood pressure GLS, predicts long-term all-cause mortality. We aimed to further explore the of MW for cardiovascular endpoints STEMI.
