Abstract:
This study was carried out on 63 patients with acute myocardial infarction, who were divided in 2 groups: Groups 1 included 35 patients with serious cardiac outcomes (death in the 1st year; reinfarction; III, IV congestive heart failure and prolonged angina); Groups 2 included 28 patients, who had not these outcomes after 2 years. All patients were examined by echocardiography within 7 days of the onset of pain and followed up over 1 year. The results shoed that patients died due to acute myocardial infarction or cardiac shock, congestive heart failure, reinfarction, arrhythmia... often had dilatation of heart chambers, decreased systolic function of left ventricular, many patients were diastolic dysfunction. Therefore ultrasonographic indexes reflected significantly these signs in prognosis
