Abstract

The complications of acute myocardial infarction where echocardiography can play an important role are listed in Table 1. Echocardiography is especially important in assessing anatomic complications such as aneurysms, thrombus, papillary muscle rupture, and ventricular septal defect. The technique is applicable at the bedside and this is important since there is reluctance to subject patients with acute infarction to catheterization. Some of the complications listed in Table 1 have surgical implications, and it is thus frequently useful to have a rapid and safe noninvasive method of confirming or making the diagnosis.
