摘要
To study the very early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by harmonic imaging ultrasonic integrated backscatter (IBS). Thirty normal persons, 68 cases with AMI, of whom 28 cases were at the very early stage of acute myocardial infarction (in 2 h), and 40 cases with acute myocardial infarction (in 2 to 12 h) were examined by IBS and the cyclic variation of integrated backscatter (CVIB) with HP-5500 ultrasonic system in different segment (the segment of myocardial infarction and no myocardial infarction). In the segment of AMI of the very early stage (in 2 h) the IBS (dB) is much higher than that of the segment of no AMI (18.7 versus 8.3), p < 0.001, the CVIB (dB) are lower (6.1 versus 7.6), p < 0.001. But at that time there are no obvious changes in ECG. In the other 40 cases with AMI in 2 to 12 h, IBS in the segment of AMI is obviously higher than the normal person and no infarction segment in the same heart (21.3:8.3, 20.2:8.5) p < 0.05, but CVIB (dB) is obviously lower than the normal person and no infarction segment in the same heart (5.8:7.6, 5.9:9.4) p < 0.05 the changes of the ultrasonic is coincidence with ECG. IBS (dB) are very obvious just as in ECG. The result demonstrates that ultrasonic tissue characterization with harmonic imaging integrated backscatter can be used for diagnosis in the very early stage of AMI, and can judge the segment range of AMI and function of the whole heart.
