Effect of colchicine use on Left ventricles systolic function in patients with anterior S-T elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary Percutaneous coronary intervention by using speckle tracking Echocardiography longitudinal strain pattern
The study participants are patients presented with anterior myocardial infarction. They will be divided into 2 groups. The first group will receive colchicine loading dose of 1mg then 0.5 mg maintenance dose in addition to the standard anti ischemic treatment for 6 months. The other group will only receive the standard anti ischmic treatment. Speckle tracking echocardiography will be done to all patients to assess left ventricular longitudinal strain pattern.
