a - The decreased global longitudinal strain (GLS) -11.7% on the second day of hospitalization, the lowest GLS values were found within the basal and middle segments of the posterior (− 10% and − 9% respectively), lateral (− 11% and − 11%) and anterior (− 12% and − 12%) walls; b – Improvement in the left ventricle contractility measured by GLS after 3 months of treatment. c - In the images of late post-contrast enhancement visible discrete, subepicardial areas of post-contrast reinforcement within the basal segments of the inferior, infero-lateral and infero-septal wall
