Abstract

The immediate and long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction depends mainly on the extent of the infarcted myocardium. Although some prognostic information can be obtained from the M-mode echocardiogram by measurements of left ventricular internal dimensions and an abnormality in mitral valve closure [1], or by mapping the extent of left ventricular asynergy using multiple transducer positions [2], M-mode echocardiography remains a poor method for quantitating the involved myocardium due to the restricted field of vision.
