Full-motion pulse inversion power Doppler contrast echocardiography differentiates stunning from necrosis and predicts recovery of left ventricular function after acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine, in patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI) and residual wall motion abnormalities within the distribution of the infarct-related artery, whether normal perfusion by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) would accurately predict recovery of segmental left ventricular (LV) function. BACKGROUND Left ventricular dysfunction after ...
متن کاملDeterminant of Infarct Size After Direct Angioplast
Background. In acute myocardial infarction, residual flow to the infarct zone either through antegrade flow in the infarct-related coronary artery or collateral flow from the non-infarct-related arteries is often present before reperfusion therapy. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of antegrade flow in the infarct-related artery and/or collateral flow to the infarct zone bef...
متن کاملPrognostic Implications and Predictors of Enhanced Regional Wall Motion of the Noninfarct Zone After Thrombolysis and Angioplasty Therapy of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Although impairment of left ventricular function in acute myocardial infarction is closely related to extent of necrosis, function in the noninfarct zone also contributes to global performance and thus may be of prognostic importance. We evaluated left ventricular regional wall motion by the centerline chord method in 332 patients treated with intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA...

To evaluate the prognostic significance of clinicopathological measurement in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in sheep, acute MI was induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). For this purpose, twenty four healthy sheep were divided into the sham-operated or control group (group I, thoracotomy without MI) and the experimental group (group II, with M...
