Clinical and radiological assessment of pulmonary hydration in acute myocardial infarction

Heart failure, complicated by the course of acute myocardial infarction, is one of the causes of death or disability of patients. Radiological studies performed directly in intensive care wards using mobile X-ray machines revealed acute left ventricular insufficiency of various degrees in acute myocardial infarction [3, 9]. However, there is disagreement about the frequency of acute left ventricular failure complication of myocardial infarction, especially in the first days of the disease, which can be explained by the use of different methods to determine this complication.
