METHOD FOR PREDICTING ANEURISM OF LEFT VENTRICLE IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

摘要

A method for predicting the aneurism of the left ventricle in the patients with acute myocardial infarction provides for the visualization of the left ventricle followed by calculating the conventional indices of the left ventricle function. Doppler-echocardiography is used for visualization. The expansion index of myocardial infarction is calculated as the ratio of expansion perimeter to the left ventricle perimeter. The value above 0.61 suggests the high probability of the aneurism of the left ventricle.
