2. Role of Electrocardiography

A New Role for High-Resolution Electrocardiography?

Background. Arrhythmias are common in patients who have developed ventricular enlargement after myocardial infarction. Methods and Results. A prospective study was undertaken to assess the relation between ventricular dilatation and the development of late potentials after myocardial infarction. Echocardiograms and signal-averaged ECGs were recorded on days 1, 3, 7, and 42 in 52 patients with a...

Electrocardiography Patterns and the Role of the Electrocardiography Score for Risk Stratification in Acute Pulmonary Embolism

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Data on the usefulness of a combination of different electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities in risk stratification of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are limited. We thus investigated 12-lead ECG patterns in acute PE to evaluate the role of the ECG score in risk stratification of patients with acute PE. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-five consec...

Electrocardiography

serves as a corroborator of clinical observations, and not as the sole means of making the diagnosis, the criticism is not justified. This conclusion applies to electrocardiography that has now been established as a standard part of cardiovascular diagnosis. The publication of another edition of Dr. Maher's treatise within two years shows its popularity. The book begins with a brief resume of t...
