Prognostic value of cardiometry in myocardial infarction

We tried to find out the influence of absolute heart size in patients in the acute period of myocardial infarction on long-term life and labor prognosis. For this purpose we studied long-term results (in 4-5 years) in 127 patients with myocardial infarction, who were treated at the specialized department of "Izhmash" hospital. All these patients in the wards of intensive care, along with other clinical and laboratory tests, on the first day of stay in the hospital trochography with cardiometry was carried out with a portable X-ray unit of P5 brand at focal distance of 1 m, voltage 83 kV, current strength 150 mA and exposure time 0,1 s.
