[The x-ray picture of pulmonary circulation in the course of acute myocardial infarct].

A study was made of the time course of lesser circulation (LC) in 80 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction and in 20 patients with chronic coronary heart disease with the help of chest x-ray. A possibility of preclinical detection of left ventricular insufficiency was confirmed. The capacity of roentgenography to reflect objectively the time course of LC disorder and its correlation with primary determination of a degree of changes, age, cardiac sizes, the expression of aortic atherosclerosis, pleurocardiac reactions and site of myocardial infarction were defined.
