About this trial

Following myocardial infarction, female individuals demonstrate a poorer prognosis, characterized by elevated rates of mortality and heart failure. A primary hypothesis suggests unfavorable cardiac remodeling in women. This remodeling, defined as alterations in cardiac size and shape post-infarction, necessitates repeated non-invasive imaging for study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Asses left ventricular remodeling disparities between genders

The primary outcome measure will be the occurrence of left ventricular remodeling (defined as a change in ventricular volume of more than 10% during follow-up) measured with cardiac imaging (echocardiography and MRI)

Time frame
baseline; 3 months and 1 year after myocardial infarction onset

Secondary outcomes

1

Evaluate the evolution of remodeling at Month 3

Changes in ventricular volumes between acute phase and 3 months measured with cardiac imaging (echocardiography and MRI)

Time frame
3 months
2

Assess remodeling changes between inclusion and Month 12

Changes in ventricular volumes between acute phase and 1 year measured with cardiac imaging (echocardiography and MRI)

Time frame
1 year
3

Assess the prevalence of comorbidities and their impact on the effect on the outcome: post-infarction cardiac remodeling with gender (cardiovascular risk factors, renal function, hepatic functionperipheral artery disease, way of life)

renal function: uremia and creatinine levels, combined with an assessment of the protein-to-creatinine ratio in urine samples, and a cyto-bacteriological examination of urine to detect hematuria; hepatic function: The Fibroscan® is a device that enables a non-invasive and efficient assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis within minutes at the patient's bedside, providing an immediate result displayed on the device screen; peripheral artery disease: Doppler echocardiography of the supra-aortic trunks; way of life : dietetary, stress and physical activity scores common CV risk factors: prior history of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, tobacco use, diabetes

Time frame
3 months and 1 year
4

Explore prognostic disparities between men and women.

Occurrence of complications and cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, heart failure, stroke, or reinfarction)

Time frame
yearly, up to 10 years
