Genesis of body surface potentials in varying types of right ventricular hypertrophy.

چکیده
Isopotential body surface maps and the sequence of epicardial excitation were studied in children with three types of pure right ventricular hypertrophy; that is, secundum atrial defects, valvular pulmonic stenosis, and tetralogy of Fallot. Patients with similar types of hypertrophy demonstrated internal consistency as to the anatomy, sequence of epicardial excitation of the right ventricular free wall, and body surface potential distribution; however, these phenomena varied between the three groups for each type of hypertrophy. These studies indicate that diagnostic information is available on the body surface to distinguish: (1) right ventricular hypertrophy due primarily to dilatation (secundum atrial septal defects), (2) right ventricular hypertrophy with symmetrical increase in thickness throughout the right ventricle (valvular pulmonic stenosis with moderate to severe right ventricular hypertrophy), and (3) right ventricular hypertrophy proximal to infundibular narrowing (tetralogy of Fallot) from one another. The body surface events could be accounted for in part by the events measured at the epicardial surface.

Relation between recovery sequence estimated from body surface potentials and T wave shape in patients with negative T waves and normal subjects.
BACKGROUND Advances in analytical methods of the epicardial electrical potentials allowed us to demonstrate spatial distributions of local recovery. Because local recovery will be reflected in events on body surface ECG mapping, abnormalities in recovery sequence that may be responsible for the origin of negative T waves can be detected from body surface potentials. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty...
متن کاملThe Genesis of the Electrocardiogram of Right
The electrocardiographic changes considered diagnostic of hypertrophy of the right ventricle are well known. They are characterized by a predominantly positive initial ventricular complex over the right chest, preceded by a small q wave or r-s waves, while over the left chest a predominantly negative complex preceded by a small r wave is found.* The transition point between the qR (or rR) and t...

متن کاملSerial studies of pulmonary stenosis in infancy and childhood.
Thirty-five children with pulmonary stenosis were catheterized from 1 day to 9 years of age and recatheterized after 2 weeks to 15 years. Right ventricular systolic pressure rose in 24 and the increase was greater in those under than over 5 years old. Pulmonary valve orifice area per square metre of body surface area increased in 12, but did not change in 3, and fell in 17; absolute decrease in...
متن کاملRole of oxidative stress in the aortic constriction-induced ventricular hypertrophy in rat
Introduction:Severe abdominal aortic constriction above the renal arteries induces arterial hypertension above the stenotic site that is the cause of cardiac hypertrophy. Previous studies have shown that high blood pressure induces myocardial oxidative stress with conflicting results. In the present study, we assessed the effects of acute hypertension on the myocardial oxidative stress an...
