Exercise-induced U-wave Inversion
The prevalence and cineangiographic correlates of exercise-induced inversion of U waves were studied in 248 patients. Exercise-induced U-wave inversion was observed in 36 patients (15%), of whom 35 had > 75% stenosis in one or more of the major coronary arteries. The proximal left anterior descending or left main coronary artery was involved in 33 of these patients, including 24 patients with n...
متن کاملRight ventricular diastolic impairment in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND The role of right ventricular (RV) diastolic stiffness in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is not well established. Therefore, we investigated the presence and possible underlying mechanisms of RV diastolic stiffness in PAH patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Single-beat RV pressure-volume analyses were performed in 21 PAH patients and 7 control subjects to study RV diastolic stiffn...
متن کاملMagnetocardiographic evaluation of nonarrhythmogenic flecainide-induced electrocardiographic T-wave inversion
Flecainide is used for pharmacological conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with paroxysmal AF and/or supraventricular tachycardia, or to prevent catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (1, 2). However, flecainide has been shown to be proarrhythmic in vitro (3) and was associated with threefold increase in arrhythmic death in Cardiac Arrhyth...
متن کاملU wave inversion.
The U wave, when first recognized by Einthoven (1906) in the earliest days of electrocardiography, was considered by him to be pathological. Since then the normality of upright U waves, except perhaps in cases where they are unusually high (Katz, 1946), has been generally conceded. Various hypotheses have been advanced to explain the U wave, of which the most satisfactory is that of Hoff and Na...
