We evaluated the prognostic role of global longitudinal strain in acute myocardial infarction to identify the likelihood of in-hospital heart failure. Methods : Forty participants with acute myocardial infarction were included, ranked according to Killip class, and classi fi ed into 2 groups: patients complicated by in-hospital heart failure (Killip class II d IV) on admission or during hospital stay (n ¼ 16) and patients with no clinical evidence of in-hospital heart failure (Killip class I) on admission or during hospital stay (n ¼ 24). All participants underwent reperfusion by percutaneous intervention or fi brinolytic therapy followed by transthoracic echocardiography within 72 hours of admission. Results : There were statistically signi fi cant differences between both groups regarding the global longitudinal strain, ejection fraction and the wall motion score index. In patients with mildly reduced ejection fraction, there was a statistically signi fi cant difference between both groups regarding the global longitudinal strain and statistically non-sig-ni fi cant differences regarding the ejection fraction and wall motion score index. Global longitudinal strain was the only echocardiographic parameter with statistically signi fi cant difference between Killip class I and class II. Conclusions : Global longitudinal strain was superior to ejection fraction and wall motion score index in detection of in-hospital heart failure in Killip class II and in evaluation of myocardial dysfunction in patients with mildly reduced ejection fraction. Global longitudinal strain could be considered as a part of the routine echocardiographic evaluation of acute myocardial infarction for detection of in-hospital heart failure and risk strati fi cation of patients with acute myocardial infarction especially those with mildly reduced ejection fraction and those without overt heart failure (Killip class II).","PeriodicalId":53534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47064274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The interview-based Specific Activity Scale classified cardiac patients into four functional classes based on ability in performing the specific activities with symptom consideration. This tool is widely used by occupational therapist in evaluating the functional performance in cardiac rehabilitation program but it has not been translated into Chinese language. Objective: The objective is to study concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the Specific Activity Scale Hong Kong Chinese version (SASHKCV) on patients with heart diseases in Hong Kong. Methods: This was a prospective study where cardiac patients were recruited in day cardiac rehabilitation centres. SASHKCV was conducted twice within 7 days. Metabolic Equivalent (MET) in stress test was collected within study period. Results: 179 patients had completed the SASHKCV and stress test. Patients with recent Myocardial Infarction (MI) during initial assessment were classified as MI group. The other patients were sorted into non-MI group. The results of the test-retest reliability of the MI group was 0.948 (p<0.001), and that of the non-MI group was 0.933 (p<0.001). Total group correlation was 0.944 (p<0.001). Furthermore, the correlation between the functional class of SASHKCV and MET in MI group was 0.459 (p<0.001) and non-MI group was 0.536 (p<0.001). Overall correlation coefficient was 0.496 (p<0.001).
