ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC SIGNS OF LEFT VENTRICULAR MYOCARDIAL REMODELING IN PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, DEPENDING ON THE PRESENCE OF OBESITY

Аннотация

In this study, echocardiographic signs of myocardial remodeling were evaluated in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, depending on the presence of obesity. 91 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were included in this study. The average age of the patients was 57±7.4 years. Of the 91 patients, 64 (79%) were men and 27 (21%) were women. In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and concomitant obesity, the percentage of fibrotic remodeling of the myocardium was significantly higher, which affected the severity of chronic heart failure after a year.
