Description
Lingyun Ren and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on heart ultrasound after a heart attack. They asked whether color Doppler ultrasound, which shows blood flow and heart size, can predict later heart failure. All patients had a blocked artery, and some had it opened by a stent procedure.
The study tracked 81 patients for six months, 49 who had the stent procedure and 32 who did not. Heart size grew less in the treated group over time. Among treated patients who later developed heart failure, heart chambers grew and pumping strength fell. The number of blocked arteries, blood pressure history, and early ultrasound results each helped predict heart failure.
