Despite early attempts to salvage myocardium‐at‐risk with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), changes in myocardial wall stress (MWS) leads to ventricular dilatation and dysfunction after acute ST‐elevation myocardial infraction (STEMI). Whether this is transient or leads to long‐term adverse outcomes major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is not known. We studied the association between MWS and MACE in patients after a successful PCI for acute STEMI.
