Late potentials detected after myocardial infarction: natural history and prognostic significance.
The risk of developing spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT) and/or sudden death ("arrhythmic events") was prospectively assessed in 165 patients who survived acute myocardial infarction. Signal-averaged electrocardiograms (ECGs) were performed before hospital discharge and then serially at regular intervals over the following year. In addition, 24 hr Holter monitoring was performed and left...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of the Lown Grades and Late Potentials in Patients after Myocardial Infarction
Background and Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the long term overall survival of patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to determine the association of survival with the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia, as recorded by Holter electrocardiography (ECG) and signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG). Subjects and Methods: One hundred fifty two patients wit...
متن کاملPATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Prognostic significance of electrocardiographic site of infarction after correction for enzymatic size of infarction
To assess whether the site of myocardial infarction is an independent prognostic indicator, the outcome of patients with anterior myocardial infarction was compared with that of patients with inferior infarction. A consecutive series of patients who had suffered their first myocardial infarction was analyzed (398 with anterior and 391 with inferior infarction). Patients with anterior myocardial...
متن کاملPATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Prognostic significance and natural history of left ventricular thrombi in patients
Fifty-eight patients with transmural anterior myocardial infarction were prospectively studied with serial two-dimensional echocardiography to determine the clinical implications and prognostic significance of detection of left ventricular thrombus during acute myocardial infarction, the incidence of systemic embolization, and the possible occurrence of spontaneous regression of left ventricula...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of papillary muscle infarction detected by late gadolinium-enhanced MRI in acute reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Background The frequency and prognostic significance of papillary muscle infarction (PapMI) have not been investigated in a large multicenter study of patients with acute reperfused ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) because papillary muscle necrosis is difficult to visualize premortem. Noninvasive investigation by late gadoliniumenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI) enables the...
