[Approach to the prognosis of myocardial infarct from the initial hemodynamic examination].
Hemodynamic investigations (right and left heart catheterization, cardiac output measurement) were performed in 132 patients with acute myocardial infarction. Retrospective study of the first 100 patients allowed determination of prognostic indices. A new statistical method is proposed which was used prospectively in the 32 following patients and resulted in an error of prediction of about 3 per cent. The establishment of prognosis from hemodynamic data is a necessary condition prior to new therapeutic approaches of cardiac failure in acute myocardial infarction.
