Intracoronary ECG guided PCI in the contemporary catheterization laboratory . Part 1

چکیده
Intracoronary ECG was invented in 1974 and in 1985 it was shown for the first time that intracoronary wire could be used as an ECG unipolar lead to detect ongoing ischemia in humans. Intracoronary ECG still remains highly underused technique for guiding percutaneous coronary interventions. This article summarizes studies dating from 1974 through 2016 showing intracoronary ECG usefulness in finding zones of ischemia, predicting myocardial necrosis, exploring vital myocardium, predicting myocardial recovery during primary PCI and finding new possibilities for developing better strategies for PCI. Still very cheap and easy to perform, it however requires additional time and deserves better integration in the catheterization laboratory.

Usefulness of Intracoronary Epinephrine in Severe Hypotension during Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Life-threatening hypotension during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is devastating for the patient and is associated with fatal adverse outcomes. The aim of our study was to assess the usefulness of intracoronary epinephrine in severe hypotension unresponsive to other measures during PCI. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We analyzed the Pusan National University Yangsa...
متن کاملIntracoronary ST-segment shift soon after elective percutaneous coronary intervention accurately predicts periprocedural myocardial injury.
BACKGROUND Elevation of cardiac biomarkers after coronary angioplasty (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]) reflects periprocedural myocardial damage and is associated with adverse cardiac events. We assessed whether periprocedural myocardial damage that occurs despite successful PCI could be rapidly and easily identified by intracoronary ST-segment recording with the use of a catheter gui...
متن کاملInnovations in Care Impact of Prehospital Electrocardiogram Protocol and Immediate Catheterization Team Activation for Patients With ST-Elevation–Myocardial Infarction
Guidelines recommend implementing prehospital electrocardiograms (PH ECG) into systems of care for patients with suspected ST-elevation–myocardial infarction to reduce door-to-balloon time (DTB). We developed a PH ECG protocol with an affiliated emergency medical service, combining 4 features: (1) PH ECG acquisition; (2) emergency medical service interpretation without PH ECG transmission; (3) ...
متن کاملUsing prehospital electrocardiograms to improve door-to-balloon time for transferred patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a case of extreme performance.
A 45-year-old man was walking his dog at 5:30 AM in June 2009 and developed crushing 10/10 substernal chest pain. He called 911 at 6:05 AM after his symptoms persisted for 35 minutes. Emergency medical services (EMS) paramedics arrived at the scene at 6:09 AM and obtained a brief history and examination showing a diaphoretic man, pulse of 92 bpm, blood pressure of 170/140 mm Hg, normal respirat...
