Left ventricular (LV) function is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality after
myocardial infarction (MI). Changes in LV function have been examined during the early and …

Twelve patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were studied by left ventricular (LV)
catheterization, echocardiography, and volume manipulation (tourniquets, phlebotomy, and …

We describe the spontaneous long-term changes in right (RV) and left (IV) ventricular
performance during a 7-year period after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Radionuclide …

Following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) there is immediate deterioration of
contractility in the infarcted left ventricular (LV) wall. This can be followed by regional dilation …

Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction contributes to signs and symptoms of
clinical heart failure and may be related to prognosis in heart diseases. LV diastolic …

Left ventricular performance was assessed in 22 patients early (within the first 2 days) after
acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and again during the convalescent phase (3-5 weeks …

Absolute left ventricular volumes, normalized to body surface area, were determined by a
count-based radionuclide technique in 189 patients with myocardial infarction (MI). All …

We evaluated the prognostic effect of baseline left ventricular function and the determinants
of its recovery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated by primary angioplasty. Left …

Left ventricular (LV) systolic function after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the
most important independent predictors of death. 1–3 In an echocardiographic substudy from …

In a multicenter prospective study of 866 patients who survived the coronary care unit phase
of an acute myocardial infarction, variables reflecting left ventricular function were examined …
