Effects of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analog, on left ventricular remodeling assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

abstract：:Wave intensity analysis is a method of studying intravascular flow wave propagation, calculated as the product of the rate of change in pressure (d P/ t) and the rate of change in velocity (d U/d t). The typical pattern of wave intensity seen during the cardiac cycle has two dominant peaks. The larger first peak (FP) ...
