Left Ventricular Thrombus in Anterior Acute Myocardial Infarction After Thrombolysis
Background. Streptokinase reduces the incidence of left ventricular thrombosis after acute myocardial infarction. However, it is unknown whether a similar effect can be obtained with different thrombolytic agents and whether subcutaneous calcium heparin can have an additional efficacy. Methods and Results. To compare the effects of two different thrombolytic agents combined or not with heparin ...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic differentiation between left ventricular hypertrophy and anterior myocardial infarction.
was made to differentiate these records from electrocardiograms showing a similar pattern as a result of anterior myocardial infarction (MI). Orthogonal ECGs (Frank system) obtained from 103 patients with LVH were compared to ECGs obtained from 327 patients with MI. The ECGs were selected on the basis of absence of Q waves in lead Z which in the conventional ECG corresponds to absence of the R ...
متن کاملImprovements in Regional Left Ventricular Function Following Late Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Anterior Myocardial Infarction
Background Late revascularization following a myocardial infarction has questionable clinical benefit. Methods We studied 13 patients with anterior wall myocardial infarction who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention within 2 weeks of the primary event, by quantitative analysis of 2-dimensional echocardiographic images. Endocardial segmentations of the left ventricular (LV) endocardium...
متن کاملRegional left ventricular performance in the year following myocardial infarction.
The relationship of abnormal regional myocardial performance to left ventricular (LV) function 2-12 months following transmural myocardial infarctfon was investigated in 25 patients by quantitative biplane angiocardiography. Abnormally contracting segments (ACS) (akinetic or dyskinetic) of the LV were identified in 24 patients. Their sites correlated with the electrocardiographic locations of i...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic Changes in a Case of Left Ventricular and Septal Hypertrophy Resembling Anterior Myocardial Infarction
In certain instances of left ventricular hypertrophy, deep Q waves observed in the piecordial electrocardiograni miay resemble those of anterior mvocardial infaretion. Such a case is reported in a patient with syphilitic aortic insufficiency. Pathologic examination ruled out the diagnosis of infarction and revealed marked hypertrophy of left ventricular wall and the interventricular septum. The...
