Patients with hypertension complicated by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a generally poor prognosis. The identification of powerful predictors for recurring cardiovascular events (RCEs) is vital. This study seeks to evaluate the predictive value of three-dimensional (3D) strain parameters for RCEs in patients with hypertension complicated by AMI.
