A method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.

Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1284; Corsini, Concise Encyclopedia of Psychology, 1987, p764-5)
Case-Control Studies
Studies which start with the identification of persons with a disease of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease. The relationship of an attribute to the disease is examined by comparing diseased and non-diseased persons with regard to the frequency or levels of the attribute in each group.
Ventricular Function
The hemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the HEART VENTRICLES.
Algorithms
A procedure consisting of a sequence of algebraic formulas and/or logical steps to calculate or determine a given task.
Cross-Sectional Studies
Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time. This contrasts with LONGITUDINAL STUDIES which are followed over a period of time.
Cohort Studies
Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesized to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome. Cohorts are defined populations which, as a whole, are followed in an attempt to determine distinguishing subgroup characteristics.

The restoration of blood supply to the myocardium. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
Adrenergic beta-Antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety.
Cardiac Surgical Procedures
Surgery performed on the heart.
Recurrence
The return of a sign, symptom, or disease after a remission.
Analysis of Variance
A statistical technique that isolates and assesses the contributions of categorical independent variables to variation in the mean of a continuous dependent variable.

Emergency Service, Hospital
Hospital department responsible for the administration and provision of immediate medical or surgical care to the emergency patient.
Angioplasty, Balloon, Coronary
Dilation of an occluded coronary artery (or arteries) by means of a balloon catheter to restore myocardial blood supply.
Catheter Ablation
Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
Family Practice
A medical specialty concerned with the provision of continuing, comprehensive primary health care for the entire family.
Proportional Hazards Models
Statistical models used in survival analysis that assert that the effect of the study factors on the hazard rate in the study population is multiplicative and does not change over time.
Kaplan-Meier Estimate
A nonparametric method of compiling LIFE TABLES or survival tables. It combines calculated probabilities of survival and estimates to allow for observations occurring beyond a measurement threshold, which are assumed to occur randomly. Time intervals are defined as ending each time an event occurs and are therefore unequal. (From Last, A Dictionary of Epidemiology, 1995)
ROC Curve
A graphic means for assessing the ability of a screening test to discriminate between healthy and diseased persons; may also be used in other studies, e.g., distinguishing stimuli responses as to a faint stimuli or nonstimuli.
Survival Rate
The proportion of survivors in a group, e.g., of patients, studied and followed over a period, or the proportion of persons in a specified group alive at the beginning of a time interval who survive to the end of the interval. It is often studied using life table methods.
Stroke
A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature.

Exercise
Physical activity which is usually regular and done with the intention of improving or maintaining PHYSICAL FITNESS or HEALTH. Contrast with PHYSICAL EXERTION which is concerned largely with the physiologic and metabolic response to energy expenditure.
Regression Analysis
Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
Sympathetic Nervous System
The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
Infant, Newborn
An infant during the first month after birth.
Comorbidity
The presence of co-existing or additional diseases with reference to an initial diagnosis or with reference to the index condition that is the subject of study. Comorbidity may affect the ability of affected individuals to function and also their survival; it may be used as a prognostic indicator for length of hospital stay, cost factors, and outcome or survival.
Incidence
The number of new cases of a given disease during a given period in a specified population. It also is used for the rate at which new events occur in a defined population. It is differentiated from PREVALENCE, which refers to all cases, new or old, in the population at a given time.

Disease Models, Animal
Naturally occurring or experimentally induced animal diseases with pathological processes sufficiently similar to those of human diseases. They are used as study models for human diseases.

Investigation of the theory and mechanism of the origin of the second heart sound. (1/14381)

To investigate further the origin of the second heart sound we studied human subjects, dogs, and a model in vitro of the cardiovascular system. Intra-arterial sound, pressure, and, where possible, flow and high speed cine (2,000 frames/sec) were utilized. The closure sound of the semilunar valves was of higher amplitude in be ventricles than in their respective arterial cavities. The direction of inscription of the main components of intra-arterial sound were opposite in direction to the components of intraventricular sound. Notches, representative of pressure increments, were noted on the ventricular pressure tracings and were coincident with the components of sound. The amplitude of the closure sound varied with diastolic pressure, but remained unchanged with augmentation of forward and retrograde aortic flow. Cines showed second sound to begin after complete valvular closure, and average leaflet closure rate was constant regardless of pressure. Hence, the semilunar valves, when closed, act as an elastic membrane and, when set into motion, generate compression and expansion of the blood, producing transient pressure changes indicative of sound. The magnitude of the initial stretch is related to the differential pressure between the arterial and ventricular chambers. Sound transients which follow the major components of the second sound appear to be caused by the continuing stretch and recoil of the leaflets. Clinically unexplained findings such as the reduced or absent second sound in calcific aortic stenosis and its paradoxical presence in congenital aortic stenosis may be explained by those observations.  (+info)

Hierarchy of ventricular pacemakers. (2/14381)

To characterize the pattern of pacemaker dominance in the ventricular specialized conduction system (VSCS), escape ventricular pacemakers were localized and quantified in vivo and in virto, in normal hearts and in hearts 24 hours after myocardial infarction. Excape pacemaker foci were localized in vivo during vagally induced atrial arrest by means of electrograms recorded from the His bundle and proximal bundle branches and standard electrocardiographic limb leads. The VSCS was isolated using a modified Elizari preparation or preparations of each bundle branch. Peacemakers were located by extra- and intracellular recordings. Escape pacemaker foci in vivo were always in the proximal conduction system, usually the left bundle branch. The rate was 43+/-11 (mean+/-SD) beats/min. After beta-adrenergic blockade, the mean rate fell to 31+/-10 beats/min, but there were no shifts in pacemaker location. In the infarcted hearts, pacemakers were located in the peripheral left bundle branch. The mean rate was 146+/-20 beats/min. In isolated normal preparations, the dominant pacemakers usually were in the His bundle, firing at a mean rate of 43+/-10 beats/min. The rates of pacemakers diminished with distal progression. In infarcted hearts, the pacemakers invariably were in the infarct zone. The mean firing rates were not influenced by beta-adrenergic blockade. The results indicate that the dominant pacemakers are normally in the very proximal VSCS, but after myocardial infarction pacemaker dominance is shifted into the infarct. Distribution of pacemaker dominance is independent of sympathetic influence.  (+info)

Irbesartan reduces QT dispersion in hypertensive individuals. (3/14381)

Angiotensin type 1 receptor antagonists have direct effects on the autonomic nervous system and myocardium. Because of this, we hypothesized that irbesartan would reduce QT dispersion to a greater degree than amlodipine, a highly selective vasodilator. To test this, we gathered electrocardiographic (ECG) data from a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind parallel group study that compared the antihypertensive efficacy of irbesartan and amlodipine in elderly subjects with mild to moderate hypertension. Subjects were treated for 6 months with either drug. Hydrochlorothiazide and atenolol were added after 12 weeks if blood pressure (BP) remained uncontrolled. ECGs were obtained before randomization and at 6 months. A total of 188 subjects (118 with baseline ECGs) were randomized. We analyzed 104 subjects who had complete ECGs at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. Baseline characteristics between treatments were similar, apart from a slight imbalance in diastolic BP (irbesartan [n=53] versus amlodipine [n=51], 99.2 [SD 3. 6] versus 100.8 [3.8] mm Hg; P=0.03). There were no significant differences in BP normalization (diastolic BP <90 mm Hg) between treatments at 6 months (irbesartan versus amlodipine, 80% versus 88%; P=0.378). We found a significant reduction in QT indexes in the irbesartan group (QTc dispersion mean, -11.4 [34.5] milliseconds, P=0.02; QTc max, -12.8 [35.5] milliseconds, P=0.01), and QTc dispersion did not correlate with the change in BP. The reduction in QT indexes with amlodipine (QTc dispersion, -9.7 [35.4] milliseconds, P=0.06; QTc max, -8.6 [33.2] milliseconds, P=0.07) did not quite reach statistical significance, but there was a correlation between the change in QT indexes and changes in systolic BP. In conclusion, irbesartan improved QT dispersion, and this effect may be important in preventing sudden cardiac death in at-risk hypertensive subjects.  (+info)

QT dispersion in patients with chronic heart failure: beta blockers are associated with a reduction in QT dispersion. (4/14381)

OBJECTIVE: To compare QT dispersion in patients with impaired left ventricular systolic function and in matched control patients with normal left ventricular systolic function. DESIGN: A retrospective, case-control study with controls matched 4:1 for age, sex, previous myocardial infarction, and diuretic and beta blocker treatment. SETTING: A regional cardiology centre and a university teaching hospital. PATIENTS: 25 patients with impaired left ventricular systolic function and 100 patients with normal left ventricular systolic function. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: QT and QTc dispersion measured by three methods: the difference between maximum and minimum QT and QTc intervals, the standard deviation of QT and QTc intervals, and the "lead adjusted" QT and QTc dispersion. RESULTS: All measures of QT/QTc dispersion were closely interrelated (r values 0.86 to 0.99; all p < 0.001). All measures of QT and QTc dispersion were significantly increased in the patients with impaired left ventricular systolic function v controls (p < 0.001): 71.9 (6.5) (mean (SEM)) v 46.9 (1.7) ms for QT dispersion, and 83.6 (7.6) v 54.3 (2.1) ms(-1-2) for QTc dispersion. All six dispersion parameters were reduced in patients taking beta blockers (p < 0.05), regardless of whether left ventricular function was normal or impaired-by 9.4 (4.6) ms for QT dispersion (p < 0.05) and by 13.8 (6. 5) ms(-1-2) for QTc dispersion (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: QT and QTc dispersion are increased in patients with systolic heart failure in comparison with matched controls, regardless of the method of measurement and independently of possible confounding factors. beta Blockers are associated with a reduction in both QT and QTc dispersion, raising the possibility that a reduction in dispersion of ventricular repolarisation may be an important antiarrhythmic mechanism of beta blockade.  (+info)

Tachyarrhythmias triggered by swallowing and belching. (5/14381)

Three cases with supraventricular tachyarrhythmias related to oesophageal transit are reported. A 61 year old man had episodes of atrial tachycardia on each swallow of food but not liquid; this has been reported only rarely. A 55 year old man had atrial fibrillation initiated by drinking ice cold beverages; this has not been described previously although atrial tachycardia triggered by drinking ice cold beverages has been described once. A 68 year old man had supraventricular tachycardia initiated by belching; this has not been described previously. These cases illustrate the diversity of atrial tachyarrhythmias that can be precipitated by oesophageal stimulation and suggest that what is regarded as a very rare phenomenon may be found more commonly when sought.  (+info)

Tachycardia induced tachycardia: case report of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. (6/14381)

Tachycardia induced tachycardia, or so called double tachycardia, is rare. A 34 year old woman is described who had a history of syncope, frequent extrasystoles, and episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, perceived as palpitation, without syncope. At electrophysiological study, during infusion of isoprenaline, an episode of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia arising from the right ventricular outflow tract initiated sustained atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, thought to be the cause of the patient's syncope. Ablation of the right ventricular outflow tract focus abolished the ventricular ectopy; the slow AV nodal pathway was also ablated. The patient no longer has either syncope or palpitation.  (+info)

ECG diagnosis of native heart ventricular tachycardia in a heterotopic heart transplant recipient. (7/14381)

A case is reported of haemodynamic collapse in a 51 year old male heterotopic heart transplant recipient caused by native heart ventricular tachycardia. An accurate diagnosis was made by selective right and left sided electrocardiography. Synchronised electrical cardioversion of the native heart (200 J) resulted in restoration of sinus rhythm with prompt relief of symptoms and amelioration of the clinical situation.  (+info)

Prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with high exercise tolerance. (8/14381)

BACKGROUND: Although high exercise tolerance is associated with an excellent prognosis, the significance of abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with high exercise tolerance has not been established. This study retrospectively compares the utility of MPI and exercise ECG (EECG) in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Of 388 consecutive patients who underwent exercise MPI and reached at least Bruce stage IV, 157 (40.5%) had abnormal results and 231 (59.5%) had normal results. Follow-up was performed at 18+/-2.7 months. Adverse events, including revascularization, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death, occurred in 40 patients. Nineteen patients had revascularization related to the MPI results or the patient's condition at the time of MPI and were not included in further analysis. Seventeen patients (12.2%) with abnormal MPI and 4 (1.7%) with normal MPI had adverse cardiac events (P<0.001). Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis showed that MPI was an excellent predictor of cardiac events (global chi2=13.2; P<0.001; relative risk=8; 95% CI=3 to 23) but EECG had no predictive power (global chi2=0.05; P=0.8; relative risk=1; 95% CI=0.4 to 3.0). The addition of Duke's treadmill score risk categories did not improve the predictive power of EECG (global chi2=0.17). The predictive power of the combination of EECG (including Duke score categories) and MPI was no better than that of MPI alone (global chi2=13.5). CONCLUSIONS: Unlike EECG, MPI is an excellent prognostic indicator for adverse cardiac events in patients with known or suspected CAD and high exercise tolerance.  (+info)

Wellens syndrome | ECG Guru - Instructor ResourcesWellens syndrome | ECG Guru - Instructor Resources
This ECG was obtained from a man in his 70s. We have no other clinical information. It is interesting for several reasons. Giant T wave inversions The most obvious abnormalities we see on first inspection are the deeply inverted T waves in Leads V3 through V6. The T wave in V3 is biphasic. There are also T wave inversions in all of the limb leads except aVR. The precordial T wave inversions are called giant T wave inversions because they are 10 mm or more in depth. There are many causes of giant T wave inversions, including, but not limited to: myocardial ischemia, coronary artery disease and reperfusion, pulmonary edema, massive pulmonary embolism, subarachnoid hemorrhage, apical hypertrophy, post-tachycardia syndrome, and post-pacing syndrome. What else? There are no Q waves or ST elevations. The ST segments are not entirely normal in shape, being flattened in most lead. The frontal plane axis is left. Even though the ECG almost meets criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy, by exclusion ...

83 The Effects of Training and Detraining on T Wave Inversion in a Cohort of Athletes | Heart83 The Effects of Training and Detraining on T Wave Inversion in a Cohort of Athletes | Heart
Purpose T wave inversion (TWI) is the electrical hallmark of cardiac conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), which may be the substrate for sudden cardiac death in the young athlete. Such repolarization anomalies can feature on the ECG of an apparently healthy athlete and pose major diagnostic dilemmas in sports cardiology, as regular, prolonged high intensity, physical activity is associated with such repolarization changes. Athletes themselves are reluctant to detrain during the season, which makes interpreting any reversible effects of exercise on the ECG more difficult. This study aimed to investigate the effect of detraining on TWI in athletes. ...

Introduction: While right precordial T wave inversions (RPTWI) are associated with specific cardiomyopathic conditions including ARVC, they are common among trained athletes without underlying heart disease. RPTWI in athletes, particularly those that are not of Afro-Caribbean descent, remain poorly understood and represent a source of considerable clinical controversy. We therefore sought to examine the prevalence, training physiology specificity, and ECG correlates of RPTWI among asymptomatic Caucasian athletes.. Methods: Competitive collegiate Caucasian male endurance athletes (rowers, n=168) and strength-trained athletes (football players, n=162) underwent standard 12-lead ECG at the time of pre-participation screening. ECGs were analyzed for standard quantitative parameters and for the presence of RPTWI defined as TWI ≥2mm in ≥2 leads from V1 to V3.. Results: RPTWI were significantly more prevalent in endurance athletes (25%) than in strength-trained athletes (4%, p,0.001; Figure). ...

Abstract 15102: Are T wave Inversions in the Anterior Precordial Leads Benign in African- Americans? | CirculationAbstract 15102: Are T wave Inversions in the Anterior Precordial Leads Benign in African- Americans? | Circulation
Introduction: While it has been proposed that T wave inversions (TWI) in the anterior precordial leads can be a normal finding in the ECGs of Afro-Caribbean athletes, it is uncertain whether this holds true for African-Americans. Hypothesis: TWI in the anterior precordial leads can be a non-specific marker of cardiac disease, and as a result, assuming a benign nature for TWI in the anterior leads in African-American athletes may not be appropriate. Methods: To begin to investigate this notion, we evaluated the incidence of cardiovascular death (CVD) in apparently healthy African- Americans with anterior TWI over an 11 year period. We analyzed the ECGs and CV deaths in 5334 ambulatory African Americans (average age 50 years, 8% female, average follow up of 8 years) seen at the Palo Alto VA Health Care system from 1986 until 1997. T waves were coded as inverted in V2, V3, V4 and V5 if TWI were noted to be more than 1 mm below the PR segment. The leads coded as inverted were summed to create a ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of a giant negative T wave (, or = 1.0 mV) in precordial leads of 12-lead electrocardiograms in the acute phase of Q wave myocardial infarction as a predictor of myocardial salvage. METHODS: Coronary angiographic and electrocardiographic findings, left ventricular ejection fraction in the chronic stage, and levels of cardiac enzymes were compared in patients with myocardial infarction with (group GNT, n = 31) and without (group N, n = 20) a giant negative T wave. GNT patients were divided into two subgroups according to the presence (GNT:R[+], n = 10) or absence (GNT: R[-], n = 21) of R wave recovery with an amplitude , or = 0.1 mV in at least one lead that had shown Q waves. RESULTS: The maximum level of creatine kinase and the total creatine kinase were lower in group GNT compared with group N (P , 0.05). The left ventricular ejection fraction was higher in group GNT than in group N (P , 0.05). The maximum creatine kinase and total creatine kinase were lower ...

You systematically review the EKG. The heart rate is normal. There is a p wave before every QRS complex, but the p-wave axis is abnormal (negative in lead II). There is now an extreme rightward axis as the QRS is negative in leads I, II and avF. As you analyze the ST segments for evidence of ischemia, there appears to be T wave inversions in the inferior distribution of II, III, and avF. You start considering the differential of ectopic atrial rhythm, right axis deviation, and T wave inversions including PE or ischemia but stop yourself. You think did someone switch the leads?

Notes from Dr. RW: Cardiac memory phenomenon: a cause of non-ischemic T wave abnormalityNotes from Dr. RW: Cardiac memory phenomenon: a cause of non-ischemic T wave abnormality
Alteration in ventricular repolarization occurs during changes in ventricular activation as may occur with ventricular pacing, bundle branch block and various arrhythmias. This may result in T wave abnormalities which persist following cessation of pacing, resolution of bundle branch block or resolution of arrhythmia. Such changes may be confused with ischemia. The phenomenon, known as cardiac memory, is reviewed here in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. ...

A female in her 60s with sudden chest pressureA female in her 60s with sudden chest pressure
IF it would not be for the ST elevation in lead V6 - the principal finding on ECG #1 would be the ST-T wave depression in anterior (as well as right-sided) leads V1,V2,V3. Anterior ST depression and/or T wave inversion is an ECG finding that should always prompt consideration of RV strain, as occurs in acute PE (For more on ECG recognition of Acute PE - Please see My Comment at the bottom of Dr. Smiths April 5, 2019 Blog post). Other findings in ECG #1 that are potentially consistent with acute RV strain are the presence of numerous S waves (in leads I, II, III; and across all chest leads) + what could be construed as an incomplete RBBB pattern in lead V1 (with narrow terminal S waves in leads I and V6). But AGAINST acute PE as the diagnosis are: i) the History, which sounds cardiac, without hint of acute dyspnea; and, ii) the unusual ECG finding of ST-T wave depression being by far most remarkable in lead V1, and no more than modest in leads V2 and V3. Typically, with acute RV strain - ...

A method of gathering electrocardiographic data is disclosed wherein the EKG data is collected by sequentially monitoring the difference in electrical potential measured at each of at least three patient leads for a time period greater than 15 seconds, preferably for equal time periods of 20 seconds each. Although more than three leads and longer monitoring time periods may be used, a 60-second three-lead EKG data sample in accordance with the present invention is clinically sufficient to monitor cardiac function and to diagnose most cardiac dysfunctions. A system for collecting such electrocardiographic data is also disclosed. The system allows the collected data to be stored for later translation and interpretation. The stored data may also be communicated over phone lines for translation and interpretation at a remote site by trained individuals.

Diagnosing Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) via Deep Learning | IntechOpenDiagnosing Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) via Deep Learning | IntechOpen
In this chapter, we investigate the most recent automatic detecting algorithms on abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) in a variety of cardiac arrhythmias. We present typical examples of a medical case study and technical applications related to diagnosing ECG, which include (i) a recently patented data classifier on the basis of deep learning model, (ii) a deep neural network scheme to diagnose variable types of arrhythmia through wearable ECG monitoring devices, and (iii) implementation of the health cloud platform, which consists of automatic detection, data mining, and classifying via the Android terminal module. Our work establishes a cross-area study, which relates artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, cloud computing on huge amount of data to minishape ECG monitoring devices, and portable interaction platforms. Experimental results display the technical advantages such as saving cost, better reliability, and higher accuracy of deep learning-based models in contrast to conventional schemes on

Tall R waves in lateral leads and deep S waves in anterior leads along with gross ST segment depression with T wave inversion in lateral leads are suggestive of severe left ventricular hypertrophy. The QRS width is also increased to about 120 msec mimicking left bundle branch block. The ECG is from a case of advanced hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with atrial fibrillation. Development of atrial fibrillation leads to cardiac decompensation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to loss of atrial kick. In a hypertrophied ventricle the booster effect of atrial contraction is very important for diastolic filling. Even though the contribution of atrial contraction to ventricular filling in a normal person is about 15 - 20 %, it may be over 30% in an individual with diastolic ...

The discrepancy between the relatively better early outcomes and the similar or even worse long-term prognoses in patients with non-Q wave versus Q wave infarction has led to a more aggressive approach in the management of this group of patients ([3, 5, 10]). Our findings conflict somewhat with reports from the prethrombolytic era ([3-5, 9, 17-19]), in which 1-year mortality was similar or even higher in the non-Q wave infarction populations. The difference could be related to the heterogeneity of the populations, the definitions used and the use of thrombolysis ([3-9, 11]).. Another possible explanation for this disagreement is the initial ST segment deviation. In most studies of Q wave or non-Q wave infarction, the initial ST segment shift was seldom considered a prognostic marker. The observation that patients with initial ST segment depression have a worse prognosis than those with ST segment elevation and either Q wave or non-Q wave infarction ([20-23]), with the additional evidence that ...

The correlation between persistent negative T wave on basal electrocardiogram and coronary anatomy or global and regional left ventricular function was investigated in 34 patients with unstable angina defined as new onset (| 2 months), crescendo or rest angina. The patients with history of previous myocardial infarction, pathological Q waves on electrocardiogram or documented elevation of CPK were excluded. Eighteen patients (group A) showed T wave inversion (| 1 mV) in at least two leads on the basal electrocardiogram, persisting for at least 48 hours before coronary arteriography. In 16 patients (group B) the basal electrocardiogram was normal. Left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction were calculated and the regional systolic wall motion was analyzed using the area method in the 30 degrees right anterior oblique view. Hypokinesis was defined as more than 2 standard deviation below the mean value calculated in 24 normal subjects. No difference was present for age (A: 61 +/- 9 vs B: 57 +/- 9 yrs)

Dr. Smiths ECG Blog: A 40-something with chest pain in the middle of the nightDr. Smiths ECG Blog: A 40-something with chest pain in the middle of the night
GREAT case! My initial impression looking at the initial ECG was that the leads (especially leads III and aVF) just looked funny - almost as if there was some type of lead misplacement. That is, the amount of T wave inversion (especially in lead III) looked extreme - albeit both QRS and ST-T wave appearance in lead III was indeed the precise mirror-image of the QRST & ST-T wave in lead aVL …But there is no lead misplacement - as the P wave in lead II is upright, and there is global negativity in lead aVR as there is expected to be. Looking next at the chest leads - not only R wave progression, but also R wave amplitude looks uncharacteristically reduced - which if not due to large body habitus (I dont think this patients body habitus was described … ?) should raise the question if loss of R wave on this initial ECG is the result of an acute ongoing event. Regardless of questions raised by these findings - there is little doubt (as recognized by the treating ED physician) that T wave ...

Early Repolarization Pattern Is Associated With Increased Left Ventricular Mass | JACC: Clinical ElectrophysiologyEarly Repolarization Pattern Is Associated With Increased Left Ventricular Mass | JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
Early repolarization pattern (ERP) on the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and increased mortality in certain populations. The mechanism of this association has been hypothesized to relate to regional heterogeneity of epicardial and endocardial repolarization. However, whether differences in subclinical left ventricular wall thickness may affect this association is unknown (1). Individuals with ERP are more likely to meet Sokolow-Lyon ECG criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH-SL) but are paradoxically less likely to meet Cornell voltage criteria (LVH-C) (2,3). Studies to date are limited by use of ECG measurements to define LVH and are thus not sufficient to determine whether there is a relationship between left ventricular mass (LVM) and ERP. We hypothesized that participants with ERP have a higher LVM and a greater prevalence of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-determined LVH (LVH-CMR) compared with those without ERP.. The ...

The electrocardiographic differential diagnosis of ST segment depression | Emergency Medicine JournalThe electrocardiographic differential diagnosis of ST segment depression | Emergency Medicine Journal
Intraventricular conduction delays such as LBBB and the associated ST segment-T wave abnormalities can mimic both acute and chronic ischaemic changes. Much has been written about the evaluation of the ST segment elevation in the presence of LBBB1,8; considering chest pain patients in the ED, LBBB is responsible for 15% of STE syndromes and is the second most frequently encountered electrocardiographic pattern responsible for non-ischaemic STE.17,18 LBBB, however, can also cause significant ST segment depression, and it is imperative that these electrocardiographic changes be distinguished from those that occur in the presence of ACS.3 The rule of appropriate discordance states that in LBBB, ST segment-T wave configurations are directed opposite from the major, terminal portion of the QRS complex. As such, leads with either QS or rS complexes should have significantly elevated ST segments mimicking an AMI while leads with a large monophasic R wave demonstrate ST segment depression. T waves in ...

Signal-averaged electrocardiogram - WikipediaSignal-averaged electrocardiogram - Wikipedia
Signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) is a special electrocardiographic technique, in which multiple electric signals from the heart are averaged to remove interference and reveal small variations in the QRS complex, usually the so-called late potentials. These may represent a predisposition towards potentially dangerous ventricular tachyarrhythmias. A resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is recorded in the supine position using an ECG machine equipped with SAECG software; this can be done by a physician, nurse, or medical technician. Unlike standard basal ECG recording, which requires only a few seconds, SAECG recording requires a few minutes (usually about 7-10 minutes), as the machine must record multiple subsequent QRS potentials to remove interference due to skeletal muscle and to obtain a statistically significant average trace. For this reason, it is important for the patient to lie as still as possible during the recording. SAECG recording yields a single, averaged QRS potential, ...

Hi Mostafa. Any other lead area(s) of the heart may show reciprocal ST depression that opposes ST elevation in another area ... so to my knowledge there is no limitation as to which leads may show this. That said, there are certain common patterns. For example - with inferior wall acute STEMI - you will virtually always see a mirror image ( = reciprocal) shape of ST depression in lead aVL compared to the pattern of ST elevation that you see in lead III. And, in high lateral infarction when you have ST elevation in aVL - you will often see a mirror-image of ST depression in the inferior leads (esp. in lead III). Proximal LAD occlusions often show reciprocal ST depression in the inferior leads - but when the LAD occlusion is more distal, you may not see any reciprocal inferior ST depression at all .... ST depression in V1,V2,V3 in association with acute inferior STEMI may reflect reciprocal ST depression, but could also be due to acute posterior infarction or to anterior ischemia. So - ...

Oxygen desaturation occurs in one-third of patients with localization-related epilepsy (LRE) undergoing inpatient video-electroencephalography (EEG) telemetry (VET) as part of their presurgical workup.

QRS width and morphology is in a gray zone. Precise answer really requires review after conversion to sinus rhythm. That said, the QRS looks supraventricular. While one can debate if QRS width is 0.11 vs 0.12 ... the width of the monophasic R wave in lateral leads is not overly wide; the initial r in V1,2,3 is larger than is usual in lbbb; and the QRS just looks supraventricular. Remember that BOTH LAHB and LVH may slightly widen the QRS - and that is my strong hunch of what we have here - :). Delete ...

Even though the electrocardiogram (ECG) is the standard diagnostic test for the evaluation of symptoms of acute myocardial ischemia or infarction, the prognostic value of various ECG features of cardiac ischemia is ill-defined. Savonitto and colleagues conducted a retrospective study of the ECG findings among patients in the Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Arteries in Acute Coronary Syndromes (GUSTO-IIb) trial.. A total of 12,142 patients were enrolled in the GUSTO-IIb trial. To be enrolled in the study, patients had to have ECG signs of myocardial ischemia, including transient or persistent ST-segment elevation or depression of more than 0.05 mV or persistent and definite T-wave inversion of more than 0.1 mV. All patients had to have reported symptoms of cardiac ischemia at rest within 12 hours of hospital admission. Since the GUSTO-IIb trial was a comparison of heparin and desirudin, patients were excluded if they had active bleeding, a history of stroke, an elevated serum creatinine ...

Left bundle branch blocks. In left bundle branch block (LBBB) the left ventricle is not directly activated by impulses travelling through the left bundle branch. The right ventricle, however, is still activated as normal by the right bundle branch.. The left ventricle is activated by impulses travelling through the myocardium across the septum. As this occurs more slowly than conduction through the bundle of His the QRS complex becomes widened.. Normally the septum is activated from left to right, which produces small Q waves in the lateral leads. In the presence of LBBB, however, this septal activation is reversed, which eliminates these normal septal Q waves.. The right to left depolarization of the myocardium produces deep S waves in the right praecordial leads (V1-V3) and tall R waves in the lateral leads (I, V5 and V6). It also usually causes left axis deviation. As the ventricles are activated sequentially from right to left, rather than simultaneously, the R wave in the lateral leads is ...

Electrocardiograph ( EKG ) Technicians work closely with cardiovascular technologists. Technicians who specialize in electrocardiogram (EKG) testing are known as cardiographic or electrocardiograph (EKG) technicians. Electrocardiograph ( EKG ) Technicians conduct procedures and manage equipment that tests, monitors and documents electrical activity of a patients cardiovascular system. These test are used to assist cardiologists and physicians in identifying and treating cardiac and blood vessel abnormalities. These procedures are non-invasive and usually conducted as part of a routine examination before surgical procedures. These types of test include standard electrocardiogram exams, 12-lead placement, cardiac catheterization, Holter monitoring, phonocardiography, stress testing, and vectorcardiography. The tests also detect and diagnose medical illnesses such as coronary artery disease, angina, arrhythmias and pericarditis.. The electrocardiograph technician is initially responsible for ...

Re: Angiotensin receptor blocker in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction with preserved left ventricular...
I read the article by Yang JH,et al with great interest, in which the authors compared 1-year prognostic impacts of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with preserved left ventricular systolic function who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) [1]. I believe it would be appreciated if authors discuss the long-term survival benefit of ARBs before concluding that ARBs are as beneficial as ACEIs in STEMI patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function after PCI.. Although ARBs could be an alternative to ACEIs, a recent observational study using inverse probability of treatment weighting and propensity score matching methods revealed that patients treated with ACEIs had significantly lower long-term mortality compared with those treated with ARBs from 2 to 5 years after acute myocardial infarction [2]. This study also demonstrated that crude ...

Consequently, this arrhythmia is commonly misdiagnosed as a supraventricular tachycardia. The QRS complexes have a right bundle branch block pattern, often with a small Q wave rather than primary R wave in lead V1 and a deep S wave in lead V6. When the tachycardia originates from the posterior fascicle the frontal plane axis of the QRS complex is deviated to the left; when it originates from the anterior fascicle, right axis deviation is seen.

Adjacent QT dispersion: A good predictor of ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarctionAdjacent QT dispersion: A good predictor of ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction
|p|The 12-lead surface electrocardiogram adjacent QTc dispersion, which is the maximum difference of corrected QT interval between two adjacent leads, is a simple method to determine regional variation in repolarization and refractoriness. The aim of this study is to evaluate adjacent QTc dispersion as a marker of susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction. A total of 135 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in the study. Adjacent QTc, measured by lens magnifier, was calculated on the first, second and third days after acute myocardial infarction. On the second day after acute myocardial infarction, adjacent QTc dispersion was significantly greater in patients with ventricular arrhythmias (P < 0.001). Adjacent QTc dispersion on the first and fifth day after acute myocardial infarction was not associated with development of ventricular arrhythmias. On the second day after acute myocardial infarction, adjacent QTc dispersion is

Long-term prognosis in relation to ECG findings in acute myocardial infarctionLong-term prognosis in relation to ECG findings in acute myocardial infarction
In 680 patients with acute myocardial infarction the prognosis during the following 5 years was related to observations made in a standard electrocardiogram (ECG) and 24 precordial chest leads. Patients with a Q-wave infarction (based on a 12-lead standard ECG) had a mortality rate during hospitalization of 10.2% which was much higher than that in patients with a non-Q-wave infarction (1.9%, p less than 0.001). At 5 years follow-up 33.6% of those with a Q-wave infarction had died versus 28.4% of those with a non-Q-wave infarction (p greater than 0.2). Corresponding mortality rate among patients with no previous infarction (n = 587) was 32.1% and 25.2%, respectively (p = 0.17). In patients with anterior infarction and no previous infarction there was no correlation between Q- and R-wave changes in the 24 chest leads 4 days after admission to hospital and 5-year mortality rate. We thus conclude that patients with a Q-wave infarction had a higher in-hospital mortality compared with non-Q-wave ...

Optimal measuring point for ST deviation in chest pain patients with possible acute coronary syndrome - Lunds universitetOptimal measuring point for ST deviation in chest pain patients with possible acute coronary syndrome - Lunds universitet
INTRODUCTION: In the ECG, significant ST elevation or depression according to specific amplitude criteria can be indicative of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Guidelines state that the ST amplitude should be measured at the J point, but data to support that this is the optimal measuring point for ACS detection is lacking. We evaluated the impact of different measuring points for ST deviation on the diagnostic accuracy for ACS in unselected emergency department (ED) chest pain patients.. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We included 14,148 adult patients with acute chest pain and an ECG recorded at a Swedish ED between 2010 and 2014. ST deviation was measured at the J point (STJ) and at 20, 40, 60 and 80 ms after the J point. A discharge diagnosis of ACS or not at the index visit was noted in all patients.. RESULTS: In total, 1489 (10.5%) patients had ACS. ST amplitude criteria at STJ had a sensitivity of 28% and a specificity of 92% for ACS. With these criteria, the highest positive and negative predictive ...

R-Wave Amplitude and Left Ventricular Volume: Changes with Nitroglycerine and Atrial Pacing - ScienceOpenR-Wave Amplitude and Left Ventricular Volume: Changes with Nitroglycerine and Atrial Pacing - ScienceOpen
The relationship between R-wave amplitude and left ventricular volume was examined using two groups of patients, undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterisation for investigation of chest pain, who had simultaneous R-wave recording and left ventricular angiography. R-wave amplitude was measured in leads 1, 2, 3 and V4-6. Left ventricular volume was altered by nitroglycerine (n = 18) and atrial pacing (n = 13). In both groups, increase or decrease in left ventricular volume was associated with a concomitant change of R-wave amplitude. We conclude that left ventricular volume is an important determinant of surface-recorded R waves with increased amplitude reflecting increased left ventricular volume and vice versa.

Cardiovascular Risk in Young Workers with Left Bundle Branch BlockCardiovascular Risk in Young Workers with Left Bundle Branch Block
Aims: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is generally associated with a poorer prognosis in comparison to normal intraventricular conduction, but also in comparison to right bundle branch block which is generally considered to be benign in the absence of an underlying cardiac disorder like congenital heart disease. In this paper we evaluate the presence of possible cardiovascular pathology in a group of nurses with a low level of cardiovascular risk factors and left bundle branch block (LBBB). Methods: During the period 2009-2013, 356 nurses (mean age: 32.6 ± 11 yr) were admitted to the department of Occupational Medicine of Second University of Naples. Of these, 13 had LBBB. The evaluation of these patients has included an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, 24-h ambulatory Holter monitoring (ECG Holter), and exercise testing. Subsequently, in patients with LBBB, multislice computed coronary angiography (MSCT) has been considered. Results and Conclusion: Only in one patient we found a

Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia is most often associated with organic heart disease and in this setting is of ominous prognostic import (1-3). Less commonly, this arrhythmia occurs in young individuals without underlying heart disease; in these patients the disorder is generally considered benign (4). However, in some of these patients the episodes of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia may lead to syncope and sudden death (2, 5). Recently, the efficacy of the beta-adrenergic blocking drugs in the treatment of tachyarrhythmias has been recognized (6, 7), and these drugs have been employed with success in certain patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (8-11).

The importance of the epinephrine provocation test for the hidden type-1 congenital long QT syndrome | AVESÄ°SThe importance of the epinephrine provocation test for the hidden type-1 congenital long QT syndrome | AVESÄ°S
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic channelopathy associated with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults. QT interval prolongation is typically the primary finding on the electrocardiography (ECG) recordings, but a normal QT interval may be seen in as many as 40% of patients with LQTS due to incomplete penetrance. A normal QT interval on ECG in patients with LQTS is known as hidden LQTS. An epinephrine provocation test can help in the diagnosis of hidden LQTS. This case report describes the use of an epinephrine provocation test to diagnose hidden LQTS in 3 patients who had normal QT interval and corrected QT interval on ECG and a family history of sudden cardiac death. ...

Diagnosis of Ventricular Tachycardia - PT Master GuideDiagnosis of Ventricular Tachycardia - PT Master Guide
In this article, we will discuss the Diagnosis of Ventricular Tachycardia. So, lets get started.. Diagnosis. The ECG helps in the diagnosis. Wide QRS complexes (>0.14 seconds), at a regular rate of >100 bpm with presence of AV dissociation (independent P-wave not related to wide QRS complexes), concordant pattern, superior QRS axis, capture beats and fusion complexes favour the diagnosis of VT. It may be monomorphic (all QRS complexes alike originating from a single focus) or polymorphic (QRS complexes are not alike suggests organ from multiple foci). Torsades de pointee is a form of polymorphic VT. It must be stressed here that in spite of all these criteria, the ECG diagnosis of VT is not only difficult but may be impossible to differentiate it from PSVT with aberrant conduction (another common cause of wide QRS tachycardia) because there is no single electrocardiographic sign which confirms the diagnosis of VT.. Following are the common causes of wide QRS tachycardia:. ...

Cardiac Sympathetic Disturbance in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy | JACC: Cardiovascular ImagingCardiac Sympathetic Disturbance in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy | JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging
The clinical and ventricular wall motion abnormality features of takotsubo cardiomyopathy are well defined. However, the underlying pathophysiology of this disorder is not completely understood. It has been suggested that takotsubo is a clinical syndrome with a multitude of predisposing factors, triggers, and pathogenic mechanisms, whose common final outcome is transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction characterized by apical ballooning with relative sparing of the basal segments. The syndrome is often preceded by acute stress (somatic and/or emotional) followed by chest pain, electrocardiographic abnormalities, and elevated cardiac troponin levels in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease.. Massive catecholamine release and exaggerated sympathetic activation with elevated plasma catecholamines (up to 3-fold higher compared with patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction) are thought to play pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (1). ...
