Abstract:
A study was performed to evaluate the changes of cardiac dimension in 73 patients with infarction and 72 persons (control) without cardiovascular diseases or diseases that influence the cardiovascular system by ultrasound. Results showed that the infarction caused a dilatation of left ventricle and atrium, increasing of volume of the left ventricle in both systolic and diastolic phases. Patients with grade II cardiac failure as killip had dilatation of the left ventricle was more than this in patients with grade I cardiac failure.
