Abstract
The authors describe left ventricular myocardial changes on transthoracic echocardiography in patients imaged within 72 hours of acute infarction. Endocardial separation from the mid myocardium, echocardiographic contrast penetration into the myocardium, and regional contrast swirling were observed. This case series also illustrates how contrast imaging may enhance recognition of early postinfarction remodeling.
