Prognostic value of myocardial viability detected by myocardial contrast echocardiography early after acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether residual myocardial viability determined by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can predict hard cardiac events. BACKGROUND Myocardial viability detected by MCE has been shown to predict recovery of left ventricular (LV) function in patients with AMI. However, to date no study has shown its value ...
متن کاملCoronary recanalisation, myocardial viability, and ventricular remodelling after infarction.
It is important to identify the mechanisms that determine the progression to left ventricular remodelling after an acute myocardial infarction, in order that patients can be treated before the development of overt heart failure.
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction: importance of residual myocardial viability and ischaemia.
During the past two decades, it has become increasingly well acknowledged that a large, transmural acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may result in complex alterations in the architecture and function of the left ventricle (LV), involving both the infarcted and noninfarcted zone. These alterations, usually referred to as “LV remodelling”, can profoundly affect the patient’s prognosis. From the c...
متن کاملEarly prediction of myocardial viability after acute myocardial infarction by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging
BACKGROUND Identifying the transmural extent of myocardial necrosis and the degree of myocardial viability in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is important clinically. The aim of this study was to assess myocardial viability using two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) in patients with AMI. METHODS 2D-STI was performed at initial presentation, three days, and six months after prim...
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial viability: using coronary pressure and flow after acute myocardial infarction.
Assessment of myocardial viability has been a challenge for revascularisation therapeutics in determining the effectiveness of an intervention and patient prognosis. In most cases, the current standard for viability is the recovery of function measured by left ventricular (LV) wall motion and the metabolic activity measured by positron emission tomography (PET) with the uptake of the metabolic ...
