Hemodynamic parameters in patients with myocardial infarction with left ventricular failure and various types of collapse

Despite numerous clinical and experimental studies, the question of the pathogenesis of cardiogenic collapse remains unclear. Even V.P. Obraztsov and N.V. Strazhesko, and then Vouyer, suggested that heart failure is the main factor in the pathogenesis of cardiogenic collapse. Subsequently, A.V. Vinogradov, V.N. Vinogradov et al., P.E. Lukomsky, Fieshberg, Smith et al., Freis et al., Et al. Provided convincing data on the leading role of acutely developing cardiac muscle weakness in the development of cardiogenic collapse. Friedberg, Lee attach critical importance to the reduction of vascular tone. Finally, Selzer and Rytand, I. E. Ganelina, V. N. Brikker and E. I. Vol'pert believe that different types of collapse can be distinguished by pathogenesis in myocardial infarction. It is also not entirely clear why acute myocardial weakness in some patients is manifested clinically by pulmonary edema, while others develop a picture of collapse (Cronin).
