Summary

M-mode echocardiograms were studied in 40 patients with myocardial infarction. The results we obtained indicate that both EPSSa and EPSSb are very valuable indices for evaluating LV function in patients with myocardial infarction. Accuracy of EPSSb attained in this study is identical with that of EPSSa, and, in addition, the measurement of the former is simpler. Therefore, we recommend to use EPSSb instead of EPSSa in clinical practice
