Does plasma volume expansion help assess left ventricular function in patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction?
Plasma volume expansion is a potentially useful and safe method to assess left ventricular function and identify higher-risk patients following uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction.
Loeb et al. (1973) studied this question.
