Background: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may be sustained or aggravated during the convalescent months following an acute myocardial infarction ( MI) and is difficult to predict. We sought to determine current practice patterns of LV ejection fraction (LVEF) reassessment during the months following MI and evaluate the predictors and clinical significance of LVEF change in a prospective post-MI patient cohort.Methods: Patients with an acute MI between June 2010 and August 2014 were identified using the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease registry. Patients with initial LV dysfunction (LVEF
