Abstract
Some degree of hemodynamic dysfunction occurs in most patients with acute myocardial infarction. The level of dysfunction is directly correlated with the extent of myocardial damage and is the principal factor governing in-hospital mortality. As such, the process of hemodynamic evaluation and recognition of disturbances is critically important in diagnostic assessment, prognosis and treatment of patients with acute infarction.
