[Intravenous digital ventriculography in the evaluation of left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarct].

Thirty patients with myocardial infarction were studied using Digital Subtraction Ventriculography with Intravenous injection (DSVIV) between 3 and 6 days from myocardial infarction and were checked after 30 and 90 days. The variation of ejection fraction in the controls was not important. The wall motion provided precise indications regarding the infarctual regions. Digital subtraction ventriculography seems to be a very interesting tool in the study of the left ventricle in the evolution of myocardial infarction, thanks to a low invasivity, providing data on ventricular function.
