Pattern and Impact of Altered Regional Myocardial Excursion on Global Ventricular Performance After First-Time Acute Anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction by Real-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography

Background: The regional wall motion score index obtained by two-dimensional echocardiography in myocardial infarction (MI) has a significant impact on left ventricular (LV) global contractility and is of extraordinary prognostic value, whereas data regarding real-time three-dimensional echocardiogr...
