Abstract | ||||
Background: Worldwide, myocardial infarction (MI) continues to be the primary cause of mortality. For many years, the leading cause of morbidity worldwide has been coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim: This study aimed to assess the Left ventricular function in patient with Ant. Myocardial Infarction at Emergency Department in Suez Canal University hospital. Patients and methods: This case control study was conducted in the Emergency room (ER) of the Suez Canal university Hospital. It included 60 participants which divided to two groups; group 1included 30 patients had anterior myocardial infarction attending to the ER of the Suez Canal university Hospital and group 2 included 30 matched study group in age, sex, and risk factors with no MI. Results: Our study results have revealed that MI group had statistically significant higher medical history of HTN (p=0.001), DM (p=0.005), IHD (p˂ 0.001), smoking (p˂ 0.001), than the control group, the mean pulse of the MI group was (90.60 ± 11.941 BPM) statistically significantly higher than in control group (82.60 ± 8.712 BPM), (p= 0.004). The mean MAP of the MI group was (90.60 ± 8.633 mmHg), while in control group it was (90.77 ± 7.224 mmHg), with no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding MAP (p= 0.936). The mean left ventricle diastolic diameter (5.26 ± 0.637cm) and left ventricle systolic diameter (3.85 ± 0.743 cm) in the MI group were statistically significantly higher than in the control group. | ||||
