Myocardial performance index for assessment of left ventricular outcome in successfully recanalised anterior myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the myocardial performance index (MPI) can predict left ventricular functional outcome in patients with early recanalisation after anterior acute myocardial infarction (MI) and to determine when the index should be measured. DESIGN MPI was measured serially by two dimensional Doppler echocardiography after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). L...

متن کاملLeft 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 کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
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 ...
