PG - 19-35 AB - Initial hemodynamics were studied in 101 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by shock or left heart failure. 59 had anterior myocardial infarction (AMI); 42 had inferior myocardial infarction (IMI). Data were processed by univariate analysis and correspondence analysis. AMIs and IMIs were significantly different on conduction disturbances, heart rate, left ventricular filling pressure, mean pulmonary artery pressure and right ventricular function indices. Both patients and parameters were projected on the most meaningful factorial plane generated by correspondence analysis. This two-dimensional graphical representation showed that all the information was roughly distributed along the 2 orthogonal axes defining this plane. Survivors and nonsurvivors were fairly well separated along the first factorial axis (prognostic axis) which was highly correlated with both outcome and left ventricular function parameters. AMIs and IMIs were grossly separated along the second factorial axis (topographical axis) which was rather well correlated with location and right ventricular function parameters. These studies suggest that AMI and IMI hemodynamic profiles are modulated by the presence or absence of right ventricular dysfunction. Moreover right ventricular dysfunction may be held responsible of some lack of information about left ventricular function status.
