RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Evaluating the segmental wall motion of left ventricle is important in patients with myocardial infarction for choosing therapeutic modality and predicting prognosis. Radionuclide Multigated Angiography(MUGA) is a reliable noninvasive method for the evaluation of left ventricular performance. Methods : MUGA scan(LV ejection fraction, phase image histogram, regional wall motion) was performed and analyzed in 45 patients with myocardial infarction(31 : acute MI, 14: old MI) and 13 normal controls. RESULTS: 1) The LVEF of acute and old MI group was significantly reduced and the SDph of acute and old MI group was significantly increased as compared with that of control group(p0.05), in old anterior MI(r=-0.65, 0.47, p>0.05) and in old inferior MI(r=-0.47, 0.46, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that Phase angle(SDPh) is thought to be valuable index to evaluate left ventricular function with application of other indeces in Myocardial infarction. Left ventricular function measured by SDph in acute or anterior MI is lower than old or inferior MI.
