...The left ventricular global function index (LVGFI) was recently proposed as such a novel measure of LV performance.(13,14) The formula for the calculation of the LVGFI combines LV stroke-, end-systolic, and enddiastolic volumes, and LV mass....

...In patients after acute MI, the LVGFI has only been investigated in one pooled retrospective, single-center, observational study [8]....

...In patients after acute MI only one small singlecenter study assessed the relation between the LVGFI and infarct characteristics, however, the prognostic role of the LVGFI after reperfused AMI is completely unknown [8]....

...[8] we found a marked reduction of the mean LVGFI in STEMI patients when compared with a healthy multiethnic population (42 ± 6 % in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis [MESA], versus 31 ± 8 % in the current study) [7]....
