This retrospective comparative study analyzed regional left ventricular function and scaring with two-dimensional strain 2DS in the first 4 to 10 days after acute anterior myocardial infarction AMI . Methods and results The study population consisted of 32 AMI patients with an LAD occlusion and successful reperfusion. The assessment of peak systolic 2DS and peak systolic strain rate SR was performed segment-oriented with the angle-independent speckle tracking algorithm Velocity Vector Imaging VVI . The infarcted adjacent and non-infarcted segments were revealed by late enhancement MRI LE-MRI which was used as reference for the comparison with 2DS. The infarcted segments showed a significant decrease of tissue velocities 2DS and SR in comparison to the non-affected segments. Conclusion 2DS and SR as assessed by VVI seem to be a suitable approach for echocardiographic .
