Methods
LACI, death, reinfarction or heart failure
AMI, CARDIAC EVENTS, EVENT
In total, 1046 patients following AMI were included. After primary percutaneous coronary intervention CMR imaging and subsequent functional analyses were performed. LACI was defined by the ratio of the left atrial end-diastolic volume divided by the left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including death, reinfarction or heart failure within 12 months after the index event were defined as primary clinical endpoint.
