[Long-term monitoring of changes in contractility of the left ventricular wall in patients with myocardial infarct].
Using two-dimensional echocardiography, the authors made a one-year investigation of left ventricular function in a group of patients after a first transmural myocardial infarction. They evaluated subjectively and quantitatively changes in the contractility and the development of the diastolic area of the left ventricle. They revealed a certain improvement of the contractility, probably as a result of the development of a collateral circulation and altered structure of the infarction focus associated with dilatation of the left ventricle by the Frank-Starling mechanism.
