Abstract Primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI)has revolutionized the management and outcome of acute myocardial infarction (MI).Delayed time to reperfusion was identified as a risk predictor of ACS. It is associated with higher risk of CVD. Echocardiographic indices of diastolic dysfunction are related to adverse remodeling, increased incidence of heart failure and worse survival following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between left ventricular diastolic function and time to reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.The current study was conducted on 50 patients admitted with STEMI &underwent primary PCI. |
