End-diastolic walls tress is a potential prognostic tool for risk stratifying STEMI patients, providing an assessment of the functional consequences of myocardial remodeling. It is predictive of MACE independent of LVEF, associated with longer hospitalizations, and correlates with galectin-3, a biomarker of cardiac remodeling.
