[2-dimensional echocardiography in the diagnosis of heart aneurysms]

The authors observed 157 patients with the myocardial infarction, of them 88 were in the acute phase of the disease. They compared different noninvasive methods of diagnosis of aneurysms. They believe that the method of sectoral scanning is the best. The mono-dimensional echocardiography is effective in detecting apical aneurysms. Dynamic echocardiography is essential for early detection of cardiac aneurysms. Taking of the apical section of the heart is to be preferred.
