Study on vulnerability map of body surface mapping in acute myocardial infarction.

Body Surface Electrocardiographic Mapping in Inferior Myocardial Infarction

To determine the depolarization and repolarization time-integral patterns in patients with first acute inferior myocardial infarction, we acquired body surface potential maps in 28 men and eight women, ages 36-76 years, a mean of 76 hours after the onset of symptoms. Based on technetium-99m pyrophosphate myocardial scans, patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 22 patients with ...

Oxidised LDL in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case-Control Study

Introduction: The metabolism of many fats, including free fatty acids and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine the association between circulating ox-LDL and acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: The case control study conducted on 43 patients with acute myocardial infarction ...

Surface mapping of RS-T segment in acute myocardial infarction.

Body surface distributions of repolarization forces during acute myocardial infarction. I. Isopotential and isoarea mapping.

Although ST-segment abnormalities during acute myocardial infarction are clinically important, the total thoracic distribution of these repolarization potentials has not been reported. To provide this information, 24 patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied. Isopotential body surface maps were constructed from potentials sensed by 150 anterior and posterior electrodes. Patterns fr...
