From: Fractal analysis of left ventricular trabeculae in post-STEMI: from acute to chronic phase
Case examples of patients with subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (A) and without MACE (B). Only mid-ventricular level images of late gadolinium enhancement, cine, and global FD figures at acute, subacute, and chronic phases are summarized in this figure. A A 50-year-old man with acute left anterior artery (LAD) infarction. Global FD decreased from the acute phase to the chronic phase. Heart failure occurred 19 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. B A 65-year-old man with acute LAD infarction. Global FD slightly elevated in the subacute phase and then decreased in the chronic phase. No subsequent MACE occurred within the 38-month follow-up
