Left Atrial Strain for Predicting MACE in NSTEMI

Incremental Prognostic Value of Left Atrial Reservoir Strain Beyond the GRACE 2.0 Score and Conventional Echocardiographic Parameters for Predicting 6-Month MACE in Patients With NSTEMI

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether left atrial reservoir strain, measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, independently predicts 6-month major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and provides incremental prognostic value beyond the GRACE 2.0 score, left ventricular ejection fraction, and left atrial volume index in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
