Normal ST Segment Elevation and Electrocardiographic Patterns in the Right-Sided Precordial Leads (V3R and V4R) in Healthy Young Adult Koreans
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is important to analyze right-sided chest electrocardiograms (ECGs) to rule out combined right ventricular infarction in patients with inferior wall infarction. However, the patterns of right-sided chest ECGs in healthy adults have not been thoroughly investigated. This study was conducted to analyze the normal patterns of ECGs and the prevalence of ST segment eleva...
متن کاملRight bundle branch block, right precordial st-segment elevation, and sudden death in young people.
BACKGROUND Patients with the ECG pattern of right bundle branch block and right precordial ST-segment elevation may experience sudden death in the setting of either arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or a functional electrical disorder such as Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS Among a series of 273 young (</=35 years) victims of cardiovascular sudden death who were pro...
متن کاملUnderlying cardiomyopathy in patients with ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads.
BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden death (SD) may occur in patients with ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. The mechanism of such events is unclear, so the aim of the present study was to assess whether there is an underlying morphological or pathological abnormality in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen consecutive patients (44+/-10 years old, all ...
متن کاملST segment elevation in the right precordial leads following administration of class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs.
Electrocardiographic changes were evaluated retrospectively in five patients without previous episodes of syncope or ventricular fibrillation who developed abnormal ST segment elevation mimicking the Brugada syndrome in leads V1-V3 after the administration of class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs. Pilsicainide (four patients) or flecainide (one patient) were administered orally for the treatment of sym...
متن کاملDiffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction.
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation (STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We present a patient with inferior-RV MI and...
