Myocardial Infarction and Functional Outcome Assessment in Pigs
Published on: April 25, 2014
Abstract:
The authors describe a case of left ventricle myocardial infarction who showed right ventricular failure. The patient is been studied by mono and bidimensional echocardiography, myocardial scintigraphy, ecg, chest X ray and right catheterism. Myocardial scintigraphy localized "cold" areas in interventricular septum and in right inferior wall. Echocardiography showed dilatation of the right side but not on the left heart side. The not invasive examinations allowed to assess that right ventricular failure was primary and not secondary left ventricular failure. The authors discuss findings of echocardiographic examination and of other non invasive methods.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
