To determine the spectrum and prognostic implications of left and right ventricular (LV and
RV) ejection fractions (EFs) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), radionuclide …

BACKGROUND: The prognostic importance of regional systolic function, as assessed by
wall motion score index (WMSI), compared with global function, as assessed by left …

To determine the clinical significance of transient remote asynergy after the first acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), 2-dimensional echocardiography was performed at rest and …

Infarct site, extent, and the degree of associated asynergy are major determinants of the
hemodynamic consequences of myocardial infarction. Although conventional …

Background Short-term mortality after myocardial infarction has decreased continuously
among members of selected populations. Nonetheless, the long-term prognosis among …

To determine a possible mechanism for the previously observed improved outcome after
bypass surgery in patients with poor ventricular function and viable myocardium, we sought …

In 43 rural patients, all survivors of acute Myocardial infarction, left ventricular function was
studied by 2-D echocardiography and evaluated in relation to 18 clinical predictors of left …

Radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction, end-diastolic volume, and exercise capacity
were determined in 34 selected patients who survived a first Q wave anterior infarction …

Improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction is a measure of salvage of ischemic
myocardium after reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. The degree of …

To understand the pathophysiology of diseased hearts, we devised a new regional
myocardial function curve and investigated its properties. Regional work per unit volume of …
