Abstract

In this work we have examined echocardiographic characteristics of left ventricle in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We used prospective study, during 12 months, and we followed 55 patients with diagnosed non Q AMI. All patients were hospitalized in the Coronary unit. Results: 55 consecutive (40 males middle age 55,4±8,7 and 15 females middle age 57,4±10,3) had non Q AMI. Value of ejection fraction: after 4.day - 50,4±6,2% ,2.weeks - 54,6±5,8%, 4. weeks - 59,3±5,4%. Value of ejection fraction in patients with thrombolytic therapy: 61,6±6,8% vs. 57,3±6,6% p> 0,05;Value of left ventricle fractional shortening: 28,8±2,5% (in patients with thrombolytic therapy 30,3±4,8% vs.27,2±5,9%) Value of end2 2 2 - diastolic volume: after 4.day- 62,5±5,3 ml/m , 2.weeks - 63,1±5,4 ml/m , 4. weeks - 64,4±5,8 ml/m (in patients with throm 2 2 2 bolytic therapy 60,5±9,2 ml/m vs. 67,4±8,4 ml/m ) Value of endsistolic volume: after 4. day - 26,2±2,1 ml/m , 2.weeks2 2 26,8±2,3 ml/m , 4. weeks - 27,6±2,2 ml/m (in patients with thrombolytic therapy 25,6±2,8 ml/m2 vs. 31,7±3,1 ml/m2 p> 0,05). During the in-hospital follow up period, 2(3,6%) patients and during the post-hospital follow up period, 1 (1,9%) patients with non Q AMI had lethal outcome.
