title: [Value of two-dimensional echocardiography in predicting the clinical course and fates of patients 2 years after myocardial infarction].
abstract: 133 patients with acute myocardial infarction, admitted to hospital 24 hours or less from the beginning of chest pain were investigated. Two-dimensional echocardiography (ECHO 2D) was performed 1-2, 3-5, 7-10, 21-28 days and 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months after myocardial infarction. Relations between ECHO parameters, clinical course and prognosis. 2 years after myocardial infarction were analysed. Worse clinical course and prognosis during 2 years after myocardial infarction predict high values of 1) asynergy index (greater than or equal to 1), 2) percentage of asynergy segments (greater than or equal to 50) and 3) percentage of left ventricular (LV) akinetic and (or) dyskinetic segments (greater than or equal to 37.5). Right ventricular asynergy and maintenance or increase of LV asynergy degree aggravate clinical course and prognosis too.
