CONCLUSIONS The use of OCT/IVUS fusion imaging shows similar calcium growth in-and out-scaffold segments. NC is the most frequent precursor of calcification. The scaffold resorption process creates a tissuelayer that recaps the calcified plaques. GW27-e0206 Prediction of left ventricular remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction by speckle tracking imaging with wall motion score index: a clinical follow-up study Hu Bo, Ruiqiang Guo renmin hospital of wuhan university OBJECTIVES Segmental wall motion dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has led to progressing left ventricular remodeling (LVR), which has gradually worsened cardiac function of AMI patients with poor prognosis. Our study sought to explore the prognostic value of speckle tracking imaging (STI) for LVR in AMI patients with the analysis of the relation between regional wall motion abnormality after AMI and LVR by STI in association with wall motion score index (WMSI). METHODS 83 patients with first onset AMI were enrolled from Jan 2012 to May 2015 and underwent echocardiography within 24hs of the infarcted onset (baseline) and at 6-month follow-up. LVR was defined as the percentage change of left ventricular end-diastolic volume (DLVEDV%) from baseline to 6-month follow-up was more than 20% (divided as LVR and non-LVR group). Standard long-axis and shortaxis views were stored and analyzed for longitudinal (LS), radial (RS) and circumferential (CS) strain of STI metrics as well as scores of WMSI. Segments of WMSI2 were selected and calculated for the mean values of LS (LS_WMSI), RS (RS_WMSI) and CS (CS_WMSI). RESULTS LVR occurred in 27 AMI patients at 6-month follow-up. No difference has shown for demographics, electrocardiogram, lab tests, coronary angiography as well as the measurements of two-dimensional echocardiography between the two groups from baseline, while all STI metrics were found statistical difference for the comparisons (P<0.05, all), especially the WMSI selected STI metrics (P<0.001, all). Linear regression analysis demonstrated that CS_WMSI (r¼0.716,P<0.001) was the best correlated to DLVEDV% among all STI metrics and also the best predictor of LVR by receive operator curve analysis (sensitivity of 92.6%, specificity of 87.5% and area under the curve of 0.9563).
CONCLUSIONS Speckle tracking echocardiography has the strong power for positive and negative prediction of HF and LVR after myocardial infarction. Metrics of longitudinal strain as minimum segmental strain and change rate of strain were optimal for the prediction of HF as well as the corresponding metrics of circumferential strain for the prediction of LVR. GW27-e0213 Assessment of the left ventricular layer-specific strain in patients with Non-ST Segment elevation acute myocardial infarction by 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography Zhu Jingjing, Ruiqiang Guo renmin hospital of wuhan university OBJECTIVES We sought to discuss the clinical value of 2D-STE for the identification of NSTEMI by assessing left ventricular layer-specific strain in patients with NSTEMI. METHODS Sixty patients due to suspected AMI, divided into two groups based on electrocardiogram (ECG), NSTEMI group containing 30 patients, STEMI group containing 30 patients, and thirty age and gender matched subjects were involved as the control group. Layer-specific global longitudinal and circumferential strains (GLS and GCS) were assessed at endocardium, midmyocardium and epicardium by 2D-STE, so were territorial longitudinal and circumferential strains(TLS and TCS). The absolute differences between endocardial and epicardial GLS, GCS, infarcted segments TLS, TCS (DGLS, DGCS, DTLS, DTCS) were calculated . RESULTS ① Left ventricular segments of patients from NSTEMI group and STEMI group were divided into normal segments and Infarcted segments based on the selective coronary arteriography(SCA). ②Patients with NSTEMI and STEMI had low value in all 3 myocardial layers assessed by GLS, DGLS and infarcted segments TLS, DTLS compared with patients in control group (P<0.05). Patients with STEMI had no significant difference in all 3 myocardial layers assessed by GLS, DGLS and infarcted segments TLS, DTLS compared with patients in NSTEMI group. ③ Patients with NSTEMI and STEMI had low value in all 3 myocardial layers assessed by GCS, DGCS and infarcted segments TCS, DTCS compared with patients in control group (P<0.05). Patients with STEMI had no significant difference in all 3 myocardial layers assessed by GCS, DGCS and infarcted segments TCS, DTCS compared with patients in NSTEMI group, except for GCS of epicardium, which is lower than the value of NSTEMI group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS Baseline STI metrics precisely predicted LVR at 6-month follow-up. Among the STI metrics, CS_WMSI has shown preferable predictive and diagnostic value, which indicates the impairment of segmental circumferential wall motion is closely correlated to LVR after myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSIONS Longitudinal and circumferential strain by 2D-STE for the layer-specific quantitative analyses have provided useful information for clinical diagnosis of NSTEMI.

OBJECTIVES We sought to study the progress of heart failure (HF) and left ventricular remodeling (LVR) of the first onset myocardial infarction. Positive and negative values of prediction were analyzed for the patients as well as the change of myocardial systolic function after the infarction.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study is to assess the short time recovery of the right ventricular systolic function in inferior wall infarction patients with or without right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by using 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking imaging (STI) longitudinal strain (LS) parameters.
METHODS 78 patients with first onset ST segment elevated acute myocardial infarction were enrolled. Echocardiography were performed within 24 hours of the onset, 3-month and 6-month after the infarction. At the points of follow-ups, HF was defined as LVEF failed to increase more than 5% and was lower than 35% and LVR was defined as left ventricular end-diastolic volume increased more than 20%. We compared the changes of two-dimensional and speckle tracking metrics and their relations at different time points for the predictive values of HF and LVR.
METHODS 38 consecutive patients diagnosed with inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI) and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention were included in our study. 17 of them were combined with right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI). 24 chest pain patients admitted at the same time but with negative results in the selective coronary angiography were served as blank control. Echocardiography were performed at baseline and for 15 patients before discharged from the hospital (5.22.3 days). Right ventricular 2D strain parameters were then analyzed off line.
RESULTS Both two-dimensional and speckle tracking metrics at 6-month follow-up were better than the baseline (P<0.05, all). Minimal data point of longitudinal strain was the most powerful predicted factor for HF (AUC: 0.792 with sensitivity of 82% and specificity of 86%) while minimal circumferential strain was the best for the prediction of LVR (AUC: 0.821 with sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 83%). As the negative values, we found that changes of longitudinal strain from baseline to 3-month (AUC: 0.754 with sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 75%) best predicted not to be HF as the change of circumferential strain (AUC: 0.776 with sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 81%) for LVR.
RESULTS The RV global LS (RVGLS), the LS of the basal and mid segments of the free wall and septum were lower than control group in the patient group (P<0.05). Compared with INFMI group, the RVGLS, the LS of the mid and apical segments of the free wall were lower in the RVMI group (P<0.05). Few days after PCI, basement and middle segments of the free wall (P<0.01) were higher with smaller right ventricular end diastolic (P<0.01) and systolic (P<0.05) area. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion were also higher than before (P<0.05).
