To explore the predictive value of mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) derived by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in postmyocardial infarction (MI) patients. Patients with MI who underwent 3.0 T CMR (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2200055158) were recruited retrospectively. CMR parameters included MAPSE and LVEF. Patients were followed up for MACE for more than 6 months and were separated into a No-MACE group and a MACE group. A total of 165 post-MI patients were included, and 103 patients were finally analyzed (61 patients belonged to the No-MACE group, and 42 patients belonged to the MACE group). The LVEF and MAPSE of the patients belonging to the No-MACE group were considerably higher than those of the patients belonging to the MACE group. Both LVEF and MAPSE were effective indicators of the occurrence of MACE after MI. The risk of MACE decreased as LVEF and MAPSE increased. For the risk prediction of MACE after MI, compared with model I (chi-square value 4.0 vs. 31.4, P < 0.001) and model II (chi-square value 22.7 vs. 31.4, P = 0.003), model III had a significant incremental predictive value. Moreover, the cutoff value of MAPSE was 9.70 mm. CMR-derived MAPSE is an effective predictor of MACE occurrence in patients with MI, and MAPSE provided a significant incremental predictive value. Moreover, MAPSE could complement LVEF for superior risk stratification of MI patients.
