The electrocardiographic diagnosis of apical infarction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dyskinetic areas of the left ventriculograms of 151 patients were related to electrocardiographic signs of infarction. Apical dyskinesia alone or in combination with anterior or inferior dyskinesia could be associated with inferior and/or anterior infarction patterns. Appreciation of this fact prevents over-estimation of the severity of coronary artery disease from a resting electrocardiogram, showing both 'anterior and inferior infarction'.

Background: There is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: In the present study, ...

It is a common Knowledge that the ECG diagnosis of myocardial infarction in the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) is extremely difficult and often impossible. Physicians frequenlly recommend that patients with chest pain in the presence of LBBB receive thrombolytic therapy or urgent coronary arteriography assuming that acute injury and ischemia cannot be interpreted in the presence o...

INTRODUCTION Sparse information with regard to the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is available. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and electrocardiographic changes in a Danish cohort of patients with TC. We discuss the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of TC. METHODS Cases were registered during a three year period...

Myocardial injury was induced in 25 dogs by infusing isoprenaline, 2-4 microgram per kg per minute for the duration of six hours. 10 dogs served as controls which received only physiological saline. Animals receiving isoprenaline 2 microgram per kg per minute were labelled as experimental group A and other receiving microgram per kg per minute as experimental group B. Histopathological obs...
