Abstract : Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is a well-established marker for risk stratification of patients with acute myocardial infraction (MI). However, most of the diastolic parameters that were previously assessed were affected by acute hemodynamic changes. The left atrium (LA) strain has been proposed as an alternative approach for LV filling pressure assessment. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the contribution of LA strain in the assessment of diastolic function 52 patients hospitalized for STEMI, and the result showed there are a significant correlation between LA strain alteration and various parameters: functional class (Killip), LA volume, LV filling pressures.
