title: Two-dimensional echocardiographic detection of in-hospital complications in acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: The two-dimensional echocardiogram is an ideal noninvasive method for evaluation of the global and regional wall function of left ventricle particularly the apical part in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction. Apical dysfunction, right ventricular infarction, left ventricular thrombi can be detected by 2D-Echo. It is especially useful in the identification of a high risk group of patients with acute myocardial infarction, as a guideline for attempting different therapeutic modalities in these patients.
