ABSTRACT

Fourty patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied by M-mode echocardiography. A significant correlation was established between the electrocardiographic localization of the infarction and the decreased motion of the left ventricular walls. Even when a significant correlation was present between decreased ventricular function and heart failure in anterior myocardial infarction, this was not found in the inferior and posterior wall myocardial infarction. In practice these findings should be accepted cautiously. Our findings show the high frequency of pericardial effusion in acute myocardial infarction. In spite of its limitations, the echocardiogram may be useful in the clinical assessment of patients with acute myocardial infarction, specially when it is anterior, or when complications are suspected.

ABSTRACT

Se estudiaron con ecocardiografia modo M 40 pacientes con infarto del miocardio en evolucion. Se encontro una correlacion significativa entre la localizacion electrocardiografica del infarto y la alteracion del movimiento de las paredes del ventriculo izquierdo en el ecocardiograma. Aunque existe una correlacion significativa en los infartos anteriores entre la presencia de insuficiencia cardiaca y la disminucion de la funcion ventricular a traves del calculo por el ecocardiograma, esto no es valedero en los posteroinferiores y en la practica clinica tal parametro debe tomarse con cautela. En nuestro estudio se demuestra que el derrame pericardico es frecuente en los infartos agudos del miocardio. A pesar de sus limitaciones, el ecocardiograma puede ser util para valorar a los pacientes con infarto del miocardio en evolucion, especialmente cuando este es anterior extenso o se sospechan complicaciones
