[Integration of informations gained from heterogeneic world of myocardial function and ischemia].
Currently, heterogeneity is the word to describe any inhomogeneous phenomenon observed in the ever changing living creatures. Myocardial function is dynamic in nature which is a summation of many inhomogeneous components. In fact, heterogenic phenomenon has been observed both at cellular and at ventricular levels during myocardial contraction and relaxation. However, this heterogenic behavior of myocardial activities serves as a source of monitoring parameters by which we can grasp what is happening in the patient. Reliance on only one of those parameters would lead to a wrong diagnosis and judgement in the heterogenic world. We, therefore, need to integrate those parameters to form more realistic image about patient's status. We have to have a cut off point to divide what is right and what is wrong. Although the truth may not be reached eventually from heterogeneous informations, an appropriate method to integrate informations in the heterogenic world will aid us to come closer to the reality.
