Abstract
A survey of 22 patients operated on with left ventricular (LV) infarctectomy during 1967-72 is given. Clinical, haemodynamic and angiographic results are discussed. In most patients, in whom pre- and postoperative examination was possible, there was improvement concerning anginal pain, dyspnoea and attacks of ventricular tachycardia. Exercise studies revealed a lower heart rate at follow-up. In general, heart size had decreased. Angiographically, there was a decrease in end-diastolic and end-systolic heart volume postoperatively, with an increased LV ejection fraction.Keywords
