Left ventricular remodeling following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with\npoor outcome, including heart failure (HF). Neprilysin inhibition leads to improved outcome in patients with altered\nleft ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).\nMethods: We aimed to assess the association between serum levels of neprilysin and left ventricular (LV) volumes,\nfunction and remodeling in STEMI patients with successful myocardial reperfusion and no clinical sign of HF. Sixtyeight\npatients were admitted for STEMI and had both plasma neprilysin measurement at baseline and 3D\ntransthoracic echocardiogram at baseline and after a median follow-up of 7 months. We compared 3 groups:.............
