What is it about?
Non-ischemic contractility impairment was found nearly 24.2% of first-time myocardial infarction (MI) patients ( This is associated with better prognosis on leftventricular systolic function recovery at 6 months after MI

Why is it important?
1 in every 4 first-time patients with acute coronary syndrome has neurogenic mechanism of systolic dysfunction. This effect is is blunted in diabetes or pre-diabetes.
Perspectives
Our findings provide novel evidence to support the concept of a broad spectrum of neurocardiogenic injury. Further work is needed to ex- plore the role of individual susceptibility to the clinical man- ifestations.
