چکیده

The characteristics of 93 patients in whom electrocardiographic recordings were obtained within 12 hours of the onset of non-Q-wave myocardial infarction were studied. Patients were divided into the three groups according to what electrocardiographic changes were seen. Forty nine patients had ST segment depression, 35 had ST segment elevation, and nine had T wave changes. Patients with ST segment depression had a higher rate of pump failure and multivessel disease than the other two groups. There were no significant differences in peak serum creatine kinase activity among the three groups. Twelve of 13 patients who died of non-Q-wave myocardial infarction in hospital had ST segment depression. Furthermore nine of them had attacks of non-Q-wave myocardial infarction with severe ST segment depression in many leads. At necropsy five of six patients who had shown severe ST segment depressions in many leads at the onset of non-Q-wave myocardial infarction were found to have circumferential subendocardial lesions with triple vessel disease. This study suggests there are electrocardiographic subtypes of non-Q-wave myocardial infarction that are associated with specific patient characteristics.

Enzymatic and Immunogenic Changes of Myocardial Infarction

Diagnosis of myocardial infarction is very important in a patient with chest pain. Chest pain is not always present or it may be from other causes rather than myocardial infarction. Q wave is present in 30] of infarction. ST,T wave changes are present in all myocardial infarctions, but these changes also are present in myocardial ischernia.  For these reasons diagnosis of myocardial infarction...

Prognostic implications of diagnostic Q waves after myocardial infarction.

The long-term prognostic implications of the electrocardiographic location of a myocardial infarction and the subsequent retention or disappearance of diagnostic Q waves were examined in patients enrolled in the Aspirin Myocardial Infarction Study (AMIS). The 4524 participants, ages 30-69 years, had sustained a myocardial infarction 8 weeks to 60 months before randomization to aspirin and place...

Updated Electrocardiographic Classification of Acute Coronary Syndromes

UNLABELLED The electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in acute coronary syndrome should always be interpreted in the context of the clinical findings and symptoms of the patient, when these data are available. It is important to acknowledge the dynamic nature of ECG changes in acute coronary syndrome. The ECG pattern changes over time and may be different if recorded when the patient is symptomatic o...

The ECG in acute myocardial infarction.

The initial ECG is the most rapid and readily available tool in the emergency department for the evaluation of patients presenting with suspected myocardial infarction. However, studies have shown that the initial ECG is diagnostic of acute myocardial infarction in only a minority of patients. This paper discusses the importance of the initial ECG and other information in aiding the disposition...
