Hemodynamic Monitoring in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute Coronary Care

  • 69 Accesses

Abstract

Since the advent of the coronary care unit and continuous electrocardiographic monitoring, pump failure has replaced dysrhythmia as the leading cause of inhospital death due to acute myocardial infarction (MI) [1–3]. The flow-directed pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz catheter) offers the ability to precisely monitor therapeutic interventions that may lead to a reduction in short-term mortality and morbidity resulting from pump failure and other mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction [4–6].
