Abstract
The immediate and long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction depends largely on the site and extent of the infarcted myocardium. Recently, clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated that two-dimensional echocardiography can visualize wall motion abnormalities in acute myocardial infarction and can be used to quantify the extent of ischemia. The practicability of those methods could be of special interest to estimation of changes secondary to t-therapeutic interventions [1, 2, 3, 4].
