متن کاملLow voltage electrocardiogram after acute myocardial infarction.
In a retrospective study of patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to a coronary monitoring unit in 1971 12 per cent (39 patients) had low voltage electrocardiograms within 72 hours of admission. Of these, 7 patients (18%) died while in hospital and a further 9 (23%) died within one year of their infarction. Of the 23 patients who survived, 16 were severely incapacitated by their sy...
متن کاملLow-Voltage Electrocardiogram in Acute Myocardial lnfarction*
In a restrospective study of 304 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction admitted to the coronary care unit, 22 percent (67 patients) exhibited low voltage on their electrocardiograms within 72 hours of admission. The course of hospitalization of these patients was compared with an equal number of consecutive patients with transmural infarctions and normal electrocardiographic volt...
متن کاملAnasarca-mediated attenuation of the amplitude of electrocardiogram complexes: a description of a heretofore unrecognized phenomenon.
OBJECTIVES The relationship between the changes of weight (WT) and electrocardiogram (ECG) QRS amplitude in patients with anasarca (AN) was evaluated. BACKGROUND Attenuation of the ECG voltage occurs as the electrical current spreads from the epicardium to the body surface. The voltage registered is a function of the cardiac potentials, the electrical resistivities of the intervening tissues ...
متن کاملA Case of Reversible Very Low Voltage Electrocardiogram in Fulminant Myocarditis
Clinical features of acute myocarditis range from a subclinical state to a fulminant state. Fulminant myocarditis with ventricular arrhythmia or atrioventricular block is associated with a high mortality rate. In cases in which aggressive medical therapy for fulminant myocarditis is not likely to be successful, intensive and emergency mechanical circulatory support, such as extracorporeal membr...
