Study on the left ventricular systolic- function in the patients with the old cardiac infarction by cardiac ultrasound

ABSTRACT

A cross-sectional discriptive, compare and control study on the 125 patients with the old cardiac infarction and 55 healthy people was carriout in the Army Central Hospital No108 from 3/1995 to 3/1998. The age and sex between 2 groups were the same. The results have shown that the EF% calculated as improved simpson and the interval from point E of the anterior leaf of mitral valve to the left side of the ventricular connection Septal eirs were 2 parameters with the sensitivity and specificity higher than other parameters of ultrasound. The patients with the old cardiac infarction had significantly reduced the left ventricular systolic function. This reduction was corelated with the cardiac infarction. The most reduced the left ventricular systolic function found in the group of the cardiac infarction in the both anterior and posterior septal.
