| Popis: | Radarkymography is a new noninvasive technique by which horizontal movements of the cardiac silhouette, as projected on a television screen, can be recorded reliably and reproducibly. It has been used clinically to record and follow sequentially left ventricular wall motion disorders in 62 patients with acute myocardial infarction. Asynergistic left ventricular wall motion (that is, paradoxical pulsation, hypokinesis and akinesis) was recorded in 81 percent of the 62 patients studied, and wall motion then was followed for up to 20 months. Wall motion abnormalities also were recorded in 28 of the 42 patients with symptomatic chronic coronary artery disease and in each of 4 patients with various forms of cardiomyopathy. |
