Abstract Background ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) demands near-time reperfusion to reduce the risk of long-term heart failure. This study evaluates the proportion of impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following STEMI in the context of current healthcare settings at a tertiary care center equipped with the most advanced and up-to-date standards of care. Methods Patients experiencing STEMI as their first manifestation of coronary artery disease were analyzed, as these individuals had no prior experience with heart-related chest pain. LVEF was assessed by levocardiography at admission and semiautomatically using TOMTEC in patients with eligible full-cycle echocardiography of 2- and 4-chamber view available at discharge and 1-year follow-up (FU). Pain-to-balloon time was divided into quartiles (Q) [0-111, 112–159, 160–246 and 247–784 min]. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified independent predictors of reduced LVEF |
