[Infarct size and left ventricular function in patients after thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarct]. 1989

J Sochman, and I Málek, and R Ouhrabková, and M Englis, and J Fabián

The authors give an account of factors which influence left ventricular function after thrombolytic treatment of an occluded coronary artery. They found that improvement of left ventricular function following a three-week interval after recanalization of the artery the occlusion of which led to myocardial infarction, depends on the size of the necrotic focus. Improvement of global left ventricular function and above all of the regional function of the infarction segment can be expected if the size of the focus is such that less than 40 gram-equivalent of total creatine kinase are liberated from it.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D013318 Stroke Volume The amount of BLOOD pumped out of the HEART per beat, not to be confused with cardiac output (volume/time). It is calculated as the difference between the end-diastolic volume and the end-systolic volume.

D015425 Myocardial Reperfusion Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.
