Key Points Question What proportion of patients with left ventricular dysfunction identified during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction have follow-up assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)? Findings In this cohort study of 501 patients, 303 patients had undergone LVEF reassessment by 6 months, with significant variability according to patient-level and site-level characteristics.
