Does inferior and inferior-lateral location of left ventricular dyssynergy after myocardial infarction beget ischemic mitral regurgitation?
Inferior and inferior-lateral left ventricular dyssynergy appears to be more important than global systolic dysfunction in the development of significant ischemic mitral regurgitation. Closer clinical and echocardiographic follow-up is warranted in post-MI patients presenting dyssynergy in this location.
Preventive and therapeutic interventions in incarcerated delinquents should be specifically targeted toward single parenthood, family factors, trauma oriented interventions, and focused on multiple dimensions of self-concept of adolescents.
