title: [Correlations among the haemodynamic effects in acute myocardial infarction. Function evaluation and prognosis 12 months later (author's transl)].
abstract: The hemodynamic monitoring of acute myocardial infarctions has been carried out in patients less than 75 y.o. who showed: a) extensive anterior myocardial infarction; b) inferior myocardial infarction and ST segment depression of the anterior chest leads; c) acute myocardial infarction and cardiac failure. The hemodynamic measurement were carried out at the 12 hours (mean) from the beginning of chest pain on 65 patients who suffered the first myocardial infarction and were protracted to 60 hours (mean). The hemodynamic findings were classified according to the relationship between the stroke work index of the left ventricle (LVSWI) and the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) as following: normals: 6 pts; hypovolemia: 15 pts; reduced compliance: 2 pts; mild LV failure: 19 pts; severe LV failure or shock: 23 pts. 35 pts have carried out a complete rehabilitation programme has shown an inverse linear relationship to the MPAP of the first recording in CCU. The incidence of death was 29% one year after the myocardial infarction and showed a significant relationship to the hemodynamic findings. The LVSWI resulted more sensitive than MPAP; 90% of patients who showed a LVSWI less than 20 gmb/m2 died.
