In-hospital and long-term prognostic value of viable myocardium detected by dobutamine echocardiography early after acute myocardial infarction and its relation to indicators

To assess the prognostic impact of myocardial viability in relation to markers of left ventricular systolic dysfunction, 138 patients were studied with low-dose dobutamine echocardiography 3 +/- 1 days after acute myocardial infarction and floowoed-up for in-hospital and late cardiac events (19 +/-...
