Abstract
The relative importance of individual and groups of haemodynamic parameters was assessed by the use of discriminant function analysis in 20 patients with acute myocardial infarction and shock. Individual measurements reflecting cardiac output and velocity of blood flow were most reliable as indicators of survival. Discriminant function may serve as an indicator of the severity of shock.Keywords
