This study evaluated the effect of restrictive filling pattern ( RFP ) on 5‐year outcomes in patients following ST ‐segment elevation myocardial infarction ( STEMI ). A hundred STEMI patients treated either by rescue or primary percutaneous coronary intervention with an echocardiogram performed within 6 weeks of STEMI comprised the study group. Creatinine kinase ( CK ) and left ventricular ejection fraction were independent determinants of RFP , and RFP was an independent predictor of cardiac and all‐cause mortality at median follow up of 5 years.
