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.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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)
Secondary outcomes
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)
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)
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
Explore prognostic disparities between men and women.
