Abstract:
35 cases of OMI (with an average of 12 months after acute MI) and 44 control subjects were studied by echo- and radionucleidoventriculography. Results shown a larger dilatation of the left ventricle of OMI patients in comparing with the controls. 81.1% of OMI patients had heart wall movement disorders and their location identified by echo was consistent with the MI location diagnosed by ECG. There is a positive proportional relation between WMSI and the severity of heart failure.
