U-wave alterations: singular noninvasive electrocardiographic diagnostic markers.
the morphologic characteristics of the mitral valve (i.e., simple mitral valve prolapse vs. flail leaflet or the presence of severe myxomatous infiltration), cannot yet be analyzed. Recently, it has been suggested that mitral valve prolapse is uniformly a good prognosis (3). It is unclear how these various components of the clinical presentation of patients with mitral valve diseases contribute...
متن کاملU wave: an Important Noninvasive Electrocardiographic Diagnostic Marker
Study of U waves exemplifies important clinical role of noninvasive electrocardiography in modern cardiology. Present article highlights significance of U waves with a clinical case and also summarizes in brief the history of the same.
متن کاملQ wave T wave vector discordance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: septal hypertrophy and strain pattern.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common cause of prominent non-infarctional Q waves. A retrospective analysis of previously published cases confirmed a characteristic Q wave T wave vector discordance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In 41 of 44 cases with predominant Q waves (as part of QS or Qr complexes where Q wave amplitude exceeded R wave height), the T wave was positive, and in all cases w...
متن کاملT-wave Alternans Dependency on T-wave Amplitude in Exercise Electrocardiographic Recordings
T-wave alternans (TWA), an electrophysiologic phenomenon which manifests as an everyother-beat alternation of the electrocardiographic (ECG) T-wave amplitude or shape, is generally associated to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. TWA is usually identified with no adjustment for T-wave amplitude. However, a possible dependency of TWA on T-wave amplitude has been recently...
متن کاملMagnetocardiographic evaluation of nonarrhythmogenic flecainide-induced electrocardiographic T-wave inversion
Flecainide is used for pharmacological conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with paroxysmal AF and/or supraventricular tachycardia, or to prevent catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (1, 2). However, flecainide has been shown to be proarrhythmic in vitro (3) and was associated with threefold increase in arrhythmic death in Cardiac Arrhyth...
