The value of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and two-dimensional echocardiography (2D-ECHO, wall motion abnormalities) in recognizing myocardial infarction due to left circumflex and right coronary artery disease was evaluated in 75 patients (aged 26-69 years, within 3 months of myocardial infarction) with single vessel disease (luminal stenosis greater than or equal to 70%). Twenty-five patients (pts) had left circumflex disease and 50 right coronary artery disease. In the group of pts with left circumflex disease, 13 (52%)--group I--showed asynergy limited to the postero-lateral wall and 12 pts (48%)--group II--had more extensive asynergy involving both the postero-lateral and the infero-posterior wall. No pts with left circumflex disease demonstrated asynergy of the interventricular septum. Good correlations were found between the site and extent of asynergy and the location of left circumflex narrowings: 9--group I pts--(69.2%) had obtuse marginal branch disease and 8--group II pts--(67%) had proximal left circumflex disease. Patients with right coronary artery disease were subdivided as follows: group I: 35 pts (70%) with asynergy of infero-posterior wall and posterior septum; group II: 11 pts (22%) with extensive asynergy of infero-posterior, postero-lateral walls and posterior septum; group III: 4 pts (8%) with asynergy limited to the infero-posterior wall. The location of right coronary artery narrowings had no relation to the site and extent of infarct asynergy in pts with single right coronary artery disease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
