[Results of thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarct-- echocardiographic findings].

The authors present an account on their experience with echocardiographic examinations of patients with acute myocardial infarction. They evaluated impaired contractility, the left ventricular ejection fraction and compared the results in patients treated by thrombolysis and anticoagulants during the acute stage of myocardial infarction and results assembled one year after development of the acute infarction. The results are significantly more favourable in patients treated by thrombolysis as regards the extent of the infarction, serious contractility disorders, regional contractility and left ventricular systolic function.
