ClinConnect Summary

While the role of early mobilization in the immediate postinfarction period has been well demonstrated, little is known in present about the link between early mobilization and reduction of systemic inflammation. At the same time, the impact of early mobilization on regression of left ventricular remodeling has not been elucidated so far.

The study will be a single-center, observational, non-randomized study, which will be carried out in the Center of Advanced Research in Multimodal Cardiac Imaging Cardiomed, including 100 patients with AMI, presenting with either ST-segment elevation acut...
