Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the natural course of left ventricular (LV) volumes in the convalescent phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Fifty-seven patients were examined 2 weeks and approximately 1 year after AMI by a radionuclide method allowing determination of absolute LV volumes. After 1 year the patients had fewer clinical and radiologic signs of heart failure, but median end-diastolic volume index had increased from 92 to 112 ml/m2 (p less than 0.001), median end-systolic volume index from 51 to 65 ml/m2 (p less than 0.001) and median stroke volume index from 39 to 47 ml/m2 (p less than 0.001). Patients with first anterior infarcts had significantly greater increases in end-diastolic volume index, end-systolic volume index and stroke volume index than patients with first inferoposterior infarcts. The increase in LV volumes was significantly greater in patients with clinical manifestations of heart failure than in those without these signs. Notably, changes in LV size had an unpredictable effect on LV ejection fraction. |
