Myocardial strain analysis in acute coronary occlusion: a tool to assess myocardial viability and reperfusion.
BACKGROUND This study proposes 2 new echocardiographic indices with potential application in acute coronary artery occlusion to differentiate between viable and necrotic myocardium and to identify reperfusion. We investigated whether the ratio between systolic lengthening and combined late and postsystolic shortening (L-S ratio) could identify viable myocardium and whether systolic myocardial c...
متن کاملStrain echocardiography predicts acute coronary occlusion in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.
AIMS Patients with acute coronary occlusion may lack typical signs of myocardial infarction in the electrocardiogram. We tested the ability of different echocardiographic modalities to identify coronary occlusion by quantifying myocardial dysfunction in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and fifty patients were examined by echoca...
متن کاملRegional Myocardial Function during Acute Coronary Artery Occlusion
Myocardial regional function during acute coronary artery occlusion was studied using ultrasonic dimension gauges in open-chest dogs. Three pairs of 2mm ultrasonic crystals were implanted 1 cm apart near the endocardium in an ischemic segment, a control segment, and a segment at the margin of the ischemic zone. In the ischemic segment, coronary artery occlusion resulted in prompt dyskinesis whi...
متن کاملUnexplained acute coronary occlusion causing anterior myocardial infarction
We present a diagnostic conundrum with a case of a young woman presenting with an acute myocardial infarction in cardiogenic shock who was found to have an occluded left main stem (LMS). Despite ballooning the LMS, multiple re-occlusions in the same area warranted stent deployment. There was a filling defect in the left aortic sinus which was evaluated further with a CT scan and transoesophagea...
متن کاملPredicting Myocardial Functional Recovery After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Relationship Between Myocardial Strain and Coronary Flow Reserve
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between myocardial strain and coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the prediction of myocardial functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with anterior ST elevation AMI were analyzed. Left ventricular (LV) strain, determined by 2-dimensional speckle track...
