Myocardial viability: impact on left ventricular dilatation after acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the presence of viable myocardium, detected by low dose dobutamine echocardiography, limits the likelihood of left ventricular dilatation in patients with acute myocardial infarction. PATIENTS 107 patients were studied by low dose dobutamine echocardiography at (mean (SD)) 3 (1) days after acute myocardial infarction. Cross sectional echocardiography was repeated...

متن کاملImpact of microvascular integrity and local viability on left ventricular remodelling after reperfused acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To assess left ventricular remodelling in patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction and to study its relation to microvascular damage. PATIENTS 25 patients successfully treated by primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. SETTING University hospital METHODS Indexed end diastolic (EDVi) and end systolic (ESVi) volumes were assessed on a...
متن کاملDoes left ventricular dyssynchrony immediately after acute myocardial infarction result in left ventricular dilatation?
BACKGROUND Reverse remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) is one of the advantageous mechanisms of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Substantial LV dyssynchrony seems mandatory for echocardiographic response to CRT. Conversely, LV dyssynchrony early after acute myocardial infarction may result in LV dilatation during follow-up. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rel...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Size after Acute Myocardial Infarction
The distance from the midline to the left heart border measured in a standardized manner on calibrated chest roentgenograms was determined serially in 125 patients after acute myocardial infarction. This external left heart dimension (LHD) was compared to the normal value, and its prognostic value was assessed during early and late follow-up periods (average 10, range 2-31 months). Within 96 ho...
