[Significance of the dynamic indices of the electrocardiotopogram in assessing the course of acute myocardial infarct].

Electrocardiographic and myocardial pump and contractility parameters were studied, using non-invasive procedures, in 103 patients with acute large-focal anterior myocardial infarction who showed rapid and delayed patterns of ECG change. Rapid changes were associated with favorable course of the disease. In cases of delayed changes associated with severe or medium conditions, central hemodynamic and intracardiac kinetic parameters can supply additional information to support clinical data in the assessment of the patient's condition.
