Ventricular geometry
Ejection fraction
LV Volumes
Diastole and systole
_________ is defined as a distinct break in the geometry of the left ventricular contour that is present in both diastole and systole with replacement of myocardium by fibrous scar tissue.
Aneurysm
Delayed pericarditis aka ______________ can also occur after MI, Less prevalent, Consists of recurrent pain with pericardial fluid, Typically occurs around 6 weeks to 3 months post MI.
Dressler syndrome
Post-infarction ______ ______ is reported in 30–40% in patients with STEMI.
pericardial effusion
Write down from normal to aneurysmal wall motion.
1 for normal contraction or hyperkinesia, *2 for hypokinesis
3 for akinesia, *4 for dyskinesia. *5 for aneurysmal segments
Surgical approaches to control heart failure in patients with ventricular aneurysm have included reduction ______ and ___ ______.
myoplasty and Dor myoplasty.
Although the location of the WMA is an accurate marker for the site of ischemia or infarctions, the size of the WMA may be over or underestimated due to __________.
tethering (Tethering refers to the impact that an abnormal segment has on normal adjacent segments, a WMA will be overestimated by ~ 15% due to this)
what is shown in the image
myocardial diverticulum.
If coronary obstruction persists for a threshold period of time _______myocardial necrosis and persistent wall motion abnormalities develop. (irreversible myocardial necrosis).
(>4 hours)
true/ false: aneurysm does not occur after non-transmural infarction
True. (its a a dead space reservoir with no ability to eject blood from its diastolic volume and thus compromises stroke volume.)
_______ Myocardium occurs with transient occlusion of ____-____ minutes
Stunned myocardium, 20-60 mins
Severity of WMA depends on if _____ vs _______ infarction
transmural vs non-transmural infarction
True/ False: A free wall rupture is the most catastrophic complication of STEMI
True. Involves the tearing or rupture of the acutely infarcted tissue
Most commonly identified CAD abnormality identified is
Abnormal MV inflow
Larger effusion one should always considered a _____ _____.
myocardial rupture
Right Ventricular Infarction Occurs in conjunction with________ MI (>90%)
Inferior. (occluded RCA)
An infrequently encountered abnormality which may be confused for an infarct-related aneurysm is a ______ _________.
myocardial diverticulum.
What are the Some major complications of Acute MI.
