ABSTRACT
100 Patients with first episode of acute myocardial infarction were examined. 9 patients were excluded from study because of poor echgenicity and the study consisted of 91 patients [53 anterior, 31 inferior, 6 posterior and 1 lateral]. Diagnostic admission electrocardiograph was possible in 31 [69 percent] of anterior and 14 [46 percent] of inferior infarcts. 6 patients of posterior and one of lateral wall infarct had the first electrocardiograph within normal limits. Adequate 2 dimensional echocardiography was possible in 91 patients, 71 [79 percent] had the typical wall motion abnormalities. 45 [84 percent] of anterior, 22 [70 percent] of inferior, 4 [60 percent] of posterior and one [50 percent] patient of lateral wall infarct had the diagnostic segmental dysfunction suggestive of myocardial infarction
