Report of a European Society of Cardiology-European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions task force on the evaluation of coronary stents in Europe: executive summary.

abstract：:Left ventricular volume and ejection fraction were measured by 2-dimensional echocardiography from 2 orthogonal apical long axis views in 90 patients admitted with acute transmural myocardial infarction. Results were correlated with worst Killip class during hospital stay, enzymatic infarct size (peak CK-MB) and morta...
