DIAGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF SPECKLE TRACKING IN PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Echocardiography is a useful technique for risk stratification and prognosis assessment after acute myocardial infarction. Currently, researchers and clinicians are showing the greatest interest in the problem of determining the viable myocardium zone. First of all, this is due to the fact that such information is necessary for preoperative patient selection and predicting the effectiveness of cardiac surgery Also, the area of the viable myocardium zone changes significantly during treatment, which allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of drug therapy and surgical interventions over time.
