   <dcterms:abstract>Background&#xd;
Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), especially elderly individuals, have an increased risk of readmission for acute heart failure (AHF).&#xd;
Purpose&#xd;
To study the impact of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by MRI to predict AHF in elderly (>70 years) and nonelderly patients after STEMI.&#xd;
Study Type&#xd;
Prospective.&#xd;
Population&#xd;
Multicenter registry of 759 reperfused STEMI patients (23.3% elderly).&#xd;
Field Strength/Sequence&#xd;
1.5-T. Balanced steady-state free precession (cine imaging) and segmented inversion recovery steady-state free precession (late gadolinium enhancement) sequences.&#xd;
Assessment&#xd;
One-week MRI-derived LVEF (%) was quantified. Sequential MRI data were recorded in 579 patients. Patients were categorized according to their MRI-derived LVEF as preserved (p-LVEF, ≥50%), mildly reduced (mr-LVEF, 41%–49%), or reduced (r-LVEF, ≤40%). Median follow-up was 5 [2.33–7.54] years.&#xd;
Statistical Tests&#xd;
Univariable (Student's t, Mann–Whitney U, chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests) and multivariable (Cox proportional hazard regression) comparisons and continuous-time multistate Markov model to analyze transitions between LVEF categories and to AHF. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed. P &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant.&#xd;
Results&#xd;
Over the follow-up period, 79 (10.4%) patients presented AHF. MRI-LVEF was the most robust predictor in nonelderly (HR 0.94 [0.91–0.98]) and elderly patients (HR 0.94 [0.91–0.97]). Elderly patients had an increased AHF risk across the LVEF spectrum. An excess of risk (compared to p-LVEF) was noted in patients with r-LVEF both in nonelderly (HR 11.25 [5.67–22.32]) and elderly patients (HR 7.55 [3.29–17.34]). However, the mr-LVEF category was associated with increased AHF risk only in elderly patients (HR 3.66 [1.54–8.68]). Less transitions to higher LVEF states (n = 19, 30.2% vs. n = 98, 53%) and more transitions to AHF state (n = 34, 53.9% vs. n = 45, 24.3%) were observed in elderly than nonelderly patients.&#xd;
Data Conclusion&#xd;
MRI-derived p-LVEF confers a favorable prognosis and r-LVEF identifies individuals at the highest risk of AHF in both elderly and nonelderly patients. Nevertheless, an excess of risk was also found in the mr-LVEF category in the elderly group.&#xd;
