Acute Myocardial Infarction

Illustrative acute myocardial infarction with LV pump dysfunction and pulmonary venous congestion.

Overview

Select Acute Myocardial Infarction under Clinical controls → Cardiomyopathy. The bold italic live label confirms the active selection. These are the preset’s teaching features; combined disease, rate and interventions can change the resulting numbers.

Illustrative acute myocardial infarction with LV pump dysfunction and pulmonary venous congestion.

This preset represents infarction complicated by LV dysfunction, not every acute MI.

The ECG offers illustrative territory-specific injury patterns. Add RV failure or mechanical valve complications separately.

Acute dysfunction does not imply chronic ventricular dilation.

Step by step

  1. Reset interventions if you want the untreated example.
  2. Select the condition and inspect the pressure summary and relevant waveforms.
  3. Pause for annotations; add one intervention or loading change to compare the response.
