Abstract
In some patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), wall motion in the noninfarcted area declines globally despite localized myocardial damage. In most, an infarct-related lesion is the proximal part of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Previous studies have reported that hypo-kinesis of remote myocardium may be related to multivessel disease, impaired coronary flow, or coronary flow reserve in nonculprit arteries. This report describes the case of a 53-year-old man who presented with severe global left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after an acute MI associated with distal LAD occlusion. Follow-up echocardiographic examination revealed nearly normalized LV function 5 days after the episode. We discuss a plausible mechanism of dysfunction of noninfarcted myocardium.
