Early post-AMI abnormal stroke volume response to plasma expansion warrants caution in fluid use; leaves open prospective timing studies.
Does plasma volume expansion improve stroke volume in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
An abnormal hemodynamic response to plasma volume expansion is common early after acute myocardial infarction but does not predict long-term heart failure or mortality.
Greene et al. (1974) studied this question.
