Excerpt
TMAD provides the possibility for the assessment of global systolic longitudinal function in patients with STEMI and correlates well with the extent of myocardial infarction, determined by LGE-CMR. TMAD is a novel, ultra-fast, sensitive and easily reproducible parameter and therefore a valuable predictor for the extent of myocardial infarction. Further prospective studies have to be conducted to test TMAD as a promising tool for clinical routine. …
