Following first-ever STEMI, increased LAVImin, anterior infarction, and abnormal diastolic function were independent predictors of reduced exercise capacity. Furthermore, reduced exercise capacity was an independent predictor of MACEs. These results highlight important prognostic and therapeutic implications related to abnormal diastolic function in STEMI patients that are distinct from those with LV systolic impairment.
