Background: The correlation between ST elevation in lead V1 during anterior wall acute myocardial infaction (AMI) and the culprit lesion site in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery is poor. Hypothesis: The study was undertaken to assess the electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and angiographic significance of ST-segment elevation in lead V1 during anterior wall acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Data from 115 patients with anterior wall AMI, who underwent coronary angiography within 14 days of hospitalization, were studied. The admission 12-lead ECG was examined and the coronary angiogram was evaluated for the nature of the conal branch of the right coronary artery (RCA) and for the culprit lesion site in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Results: Mean ST-segment deviation and the frequency of patients with ST-segment elevation > 0.1 mV were significantly lower in lead V i than in lead V2 (0.136 $$ 0.111 mV vs. 0.421 $$ 0.260 mV, and 37 vs. 96%, for leads Vi and Vi, respectively). A small conal branch not reaching the interventricular septum (IVS) was more prevalent among patients with ST-segnicni elevation >0.1 mV in lead Vi (67%), whereas a large conal branch was more prevalent in patients with ST-segment deviation (1 mV in that lead (83%, p<0.001). No relation was found between ST-segment deviation in lead V i during anterior wall AMI and the culprit lesion site in the LAD. Conclusion: ST-segment elevation in lead V1 during first anterior wall AMI was found in one third of the patients, and its magnitude was lower than that in the other precordial leads. ST-segment elevation in lead V1 favors the presence of a small conal branch of the RCA that does not reach the IVS. 相似文献

Acute coronary syndrome with subtotal occlusion of the left main coronary artery is rather frequently encountered in the catheterization laboratory, whereas survival to hospital admission of sudden total occlusion of the left main coronary artery is rare. The typical electrocardiographic (ECG) finding in cases with preserved flow through the left main is widespread ST-segment depression maximally in leads V4-V6 with inverted T waves and ST-segment elevation in lead aVR. In acute myocardial ischemia without (or with minor) myocardial necrosis, the ECG pattern is transient, whereas persistent ECG changes, usually without development of Q waves, are indicative of myocardial injury. In acute total left main occlusion, severe ischemia may be manifested in the ECG by life-threatening tachyarrhythmias, conduction disturbances, and ST-segment deviation. Because of the potential for life-saving therapeutic options by invasive therapy, the ECG markers of the serious condition should be recognized by the medical profession. Left main occlusion should be suspected in severely ill patients with widespread ST-segment depressions, especially in leads V4-V6 with inverted T waves or ST elevation involving the anterior precordial leads and the lateral extremity leads I and aVL. In addition, lead aVR ST elevation accompanied by either anterior ST elevation or widespread ST-segment depression may indicate left main occlusion. 相似文献

This study compared ST-segment changes during acute coronary artery occlusion with measurements of ischemia by myocardial scintigraphy. Forty patients who were referred for elective prolonged percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty underwent 12-lead electrocardiographic recording before the procedure (baseline) and continuously during the entire balloon inflation (occlusion). For each patient, the summed ST-segment deviation was calculated as the maximal absolute difference, elevation or depression, between baseline and occlusion recordings in all 12 leads. Each patient underwent 2 myocardial scintigraphies, 1 with technetium-99m sestamibi injected during the balloon inflation and 1 on the following day as a control study. Ischemia that was induced by balloon occlusion was quantified in terms of extent and severity. Results for the entire study group showed that summed ST deviation correlated with extent (r = 0.59, p < 0.0001) and severity (r = 0.61, p < 0.0001) of ischemia. The location of maximal ST deviation differed for the 3 arteries. For occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, maximal ST deviation was elevated in lead V3. For occlusion of the left circumflex artery, maximal ST deviation was depressed in lead V2. Occlusion of the right coronary artery caused ST elevation in lead III and ST depression in lead V2. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a significant correlation between summed ST deviation and myocardial ischemia during coronary occlusion that is induced by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Because patients with acute left circumflex occlusion are typically characterized primarily on the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) by ST depression, they do not qualify to receive reperfusion therapy. Documentation of a relationship between the quantities of acute ST change and final QRS estimated acute myocardial infarction (AMI) size could form the basis for clinical trials to determine the value of reperfusion therapy. METHOD: The Fragmin and Fast Revascularization during Instability in Coronary artery disease trial included 3214 patients with unstable coronary artery disease. Two percent of the patients (n = 69) had maximum ST-segment depression in leads V 1 through V 3 and were selected for this study. Initial ECG changes were compared to final myocardial infarction size, using the Selvester QRS score as the end point. RESULTS: The quantity of initial ST-segment deviation correlated with the final AMI size (r = 0.43, P < .0005). The formula 3[0.22 (SigmaST downward arrow + SigmaST upward arrow) -0.02], where downward arrow indicates depression and upward arrow elevation, derived from measurements on the initial ECG, predicted the size of the AMI in percentage of the left ventricle as estimated on the final ECG. The study population had a large proportion of AMI (73%) indicated to be in or adjacent to the posterior left ventricular wall. CONCLUSION: The quantitative initial ST-segment deviation correlates linearly to the final AMI size in patients with maximum ST-segment depression in leads V 1 through V 3. The formula derived could be valuable for selecting patients who fail to meet strict ST-elevation AMI criteria for emergency intravenous or intracoronary reperfusion therapy. 相似文献

To determine whether the admission electrocardiogram can identify left circumflex or right coronary artery occlusion as the cause of an inferior acute myocardial infarction (AMI), findings from electrocardiography and coronary angiography performed within 12 hours of each other were retrospectively assessed in 41 consecutive patients with inferior AMI. All patients had ST-segment elevation in 1 or more inferior leads (II, III or aVF). Of the 12 patients with circumflex coronary artery occlusion, 10 (83%) had ST-segment elevation in 1 or more lateral leads (aVL, V5 or V6) without ST-segment depression in lead I. Similar electrocardiographic findings were noted in only 1 of 29 patients (4%) with right coronary occlusion (p less than 0.001). ST-segment depression in precordial leads V1-V3 was equally prevalent in both groups. Thus, the presence of both ST-segment elevation in 2 or more inferior leads and ST-segment elevation in 1 or more lateral leads with an isoelectric or elevated ST segment in lead I identified circumflex coronary occlusion with a sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 96%, positive predictive accuracy of 91% and negative predictive accuracy of 93%. When these criteria were prospectively applied to an additional cohort of 19 consecutive patients with inferior AMI (5 with left circumflex and 14 with right coronary artery occlusion), presence of left circumflex coronary artery occlusion was predicted with a sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 93%, positive predictive accuracy of 100% and negative predictive accuracy of 93%. Thus, the admission 12-lead electrocardiogram can assist in differentiating left circumflex from right coronary artery occlusion in patients with inferior AMI. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: This study was done to determine whether electrocardiographic (ECG) isolated ST-segment elevation (ST) in posterior chest leads can establish the diagnosis of acute posterior infarction in patients with ischemic chest pain and to describe the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of these patients. BACKGROUND: The absence of ST on the standard 12-lead ECG in many patients with acute posterior infarction hampers the early diagnosis of these infarcts and thus may result in inadequate triage and treatment. Although 4% of all acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients reveal the presence of isolated ST in posterior chest leads, the significance of this finding has not yet been determined. METHODS: We studied 33 consecutive patients with ischemic chest pain suggestive of AMI without ST in the standard ECG who had isolated ST in posterior chest leads V7 through V9. All patients had echocardiographic imaging within 48 h of admission, and 20 patients underwent coronary angiography. RESULTS: Acute myocardial infarction was confirmed enzymatically in all patients and on discharge ECG pathologic Q-waves appeared in leads V7 through V9 in 75% of the patients. On echocardiography, posterior wall-motion abnormality was visible in 97% of the patients, and 69% had evidence of mitral regurgitation (MR), which was moderate or severe in one-third of the patients. Four patients (12%), all with significant MR, had heart failure, and one died from free-wall rupture. The circumflex coronary artery was the infarct related artery in all catheterized patients. CONCLUSIONS: Isolated ST in leads V7 through V9 identify patients with acute posterior wall myocardial infarction. Early identification of those patients is important for adequate triage and treatment of patients with ischemic chest pain without ST on standard 12-lead ECG. 相似文献

ST-segment depression in lead aVR: a useful predictor of impaired myocardial reperfusion in patients with inferior acute myocardial infarction 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
STUDY OBJECTIVE: During inferior acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the ECG lead aVR is frequently ignored, and therefore its clinical significance remains unclear. We examined the relation between ST-segment deviation seen in lead aVR on ECGs obtained at hospital admission and myocardial reperfusion in patients who have experienced recanalized inferior AMIs. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study. PATIENTS: A total of 225 patients with inferior AMIs in whom Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 3 flow was achieved within 6 h after symptom onset. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Patients were classified as follows according to ST-segment deviation in lead aVR on an ECG obtained at hospital admission: group A, 103 patients with no ST-segment depression; group B, 80 patients with ST-segment depression of < or = 1.0 mm; and group C, 42 patients with ST-segment depression of > 1.0 mm. There were no differences in time from symptom onset to hospital admission or in the culprit lesion among the three groups. The degree of ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, aVF, V5, or V6, the degree of ST-segment depression in leads V1 to V4, and the sum of ST-segment deviation in these leads were lowest in group A and highest in group C. In groups A, B, and C, the incidence of impaired myocardial reperfusion, defined as myocardial blush grade 0/1, was 2%, 23%, and 67%, respectively (p < 0.001). The sensitivity and negative predictive values of ST-segment depression in lead aVR for impaired myocardial reperfusion were higher than those based on other ECG variables. Multivariate analysis showed that the degree of ST-segment depression in lead aVR was an independent predictor of impaired myocardial reperfusion (odds ratio 8.41; 95% confidence interval, 2.96 to 23.9; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the degree of ST-segment depression in lead aVR is a useful predictor of impaired myocardial reperfusion in patients who have experienced inferior AMIs. 相似文献

Ventricular remodeling is a major determinant of the long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). No previous study examined the relation of ST-segment re-elevation to left ventricular (LV) volume and function in patients with successful reperfusion. We examined the relation of ST-segment re-elevation to LV function and volume indices in 51 patients with anterior wall AMI who underwent successful reperfusion by direct coronary angioplasty. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded once a day until 7 days after the onset of AMI. ST-segment shift was measured and Sigma ST was defined as the sum of ST-segment elevation obtained from leads V2, V3, and V4. ST-segment re-elevation was defined as present when the difference between maximal and minimal Sigma ST (Delta ST) was >0.3mV. LV indices were obtained from left ventriculography performed approximately 1 month after the onset of AMI. ST-segment re-elevation was observed in 15 patients (29%). No significant differences were observed between the ST- re-elevation group and non-ST-re-elevation group in LV ejection fraction (49.4+/-14.0 vs. 51.2+/-11.5%), LV end-systolic volume index (35.8+/-13.1 vs. 33.8+/-12.5 mL/m(2)) or LV end-diastolic volume index (69.7+/-12.8 vs. 68.3+/-14.4 mL/m(2)). The difference between maximal and minimal Sigma ST (Delta ST) was not significantly correlated with any LV index examined. In conclusion, the present study revealed that ST-segment re-elevation after successful reperfusion in anterior wall AMI patients was not related to LV volume or function, indicating that ST-re-elevation is not a clinically meaningful indicator of LV remodeling. 相似文献

Objectives. This study assessed the prognostic impact of right ventricular involvement (RVI) in streptokinase-treated patients with inferior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) stratified for small or large AMI.Background. Only scant data exist from small studies about the impact of reperfusion therapy on survival in patients with RVI during inferior AMI.Methods. Right ventricular involvement was assessed by ST-segment elevation ≥0.1 mV in lead V4R and infarct size by the extent of ST-segment deviation on the baseline electrocardiogram: small AMI = sum ST-segment elevation ≤0.8 mV and no precordial ST-segment depression (small ST); large AMI = presence of precordial ST-segment depression or sum ST-segment elevation >0.8 mV (large ST) in 522 inferior AMI patients of the Hirudin for Improvement of Thrombolysis (HIT-4) Trial. In 187 patients, 90-min coronary angiography was performed.Results. Right ventricular involvement was present in 169 patients (32%). Higher 30-day cardiac mortality rates with RVI (5.9% vs. 2.5%) were related to larger infarct size rather than to RVI. For large ST, a proximal right coronary artery lesion was observed in 52% with and in 23% without RVI. Patency rates at 90 min were similar (54% vs. 52%). In the 28% of patients who had small ST, cardiac mortality was less than 1% irrespective of the presence of RVI. Coronary artery lesions were mostly located distally. Patency rates were 27% with and 80% without RVI.Conclusions. ST-segment elevation of ≥0.1 mV in V4R in inferior AMI patients is associated with larger infarct size and higher 30-day mortality rates. Right ventricular involvement is not an independent predictor of survival. In patients with small ST, cardiac mortality is low, even if ST V4R is ≥0.1 mV. 相似文献

Objective
We evaluated the significance of combined anterior and inferior ST-segment elevation on the initial electrocardiogram (EKG) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and correlated it with AMI size and left ventricular (LV) function.Methods
We analyzed admission EKGs of 2996 patients with AMI from the GUSTO-I angiographic substudy and the GUSTO-IIb angioplasty substudy who underwent immediate angiography. In all, we identified 1046 patients with anterior ST elevation (ST-segment elevation in ≥2 of leads V1-V4) and divided them into 3 groups: Group 1, anterior + inferior ST elevation (ST elevation in ≥2 of leads II, III, aVF, n =179); Group 2, anterior ST elevation only (<2 of leads II, III, aVF with ST elevation or depression, n = 447); Group 3, anterior ST elevation + superior ST elevation (ST depression in ≥2 of leads II, III, aVF, n = 420).Results
Cardiac risk factors, prior AMI, prior percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft, Killip class, and thrombolytic therapy assignment did not differ among the 3 groups. Group 1 patients had greater number of leads with ST elevation compared to Groups 2 and 3 (ST elevation in ≥6 leads 83% vs 22% vs 49%, P = .001). Despite greater ST-segment elevation, Group 1 patients had a lower peak CK level (median baseline peak CK 1370 vs 1670 vs 2381 IU, P = .0001) and less LV dysfunction (median ejection fraction 0.53 vs 0.49 vs 0.45, P = .0001; median number of abnormal chords 21 vs 32 vs 40, P = .0001). Angiographically, Group 1 had 2 distinct subsets of patients with either right coronary artery (RCA) (59%) or left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (36%) occlusion. In contrast, the infarct-related artery (IRA) was almost entirely the LAD in Groups 2 and 3 (97%). Further, the site of IRA occlusion in Group 1 was mostly proximal RCA (67%) in the RCA subgroup and mid or distal LAD (70%) in the LAD subgroup. ST-segment elevation in lead V1 ≥ V3 and absence of progression of ST elevation from lead V1 to V3 on the EKG differentiated IRA-RCA from IRA-LAD in patients with combined anterior and inferior ST elevation.Conclusions
The AMI size and LV dysfunction in patients with anterior ST elevation is directly related to the direction of ST segment deviation in the leads II, III, aVF; least with inferior ST elevation, intermediate with no ST deviation, and maximal with superior ST elevation (inferior ST depression). Despite greater ST-segment elevation, patients with combined anterior and inferior ST elevation have limited AMI size and preserved LV function. Angiographically, they comprise 2 distinct subsets with either proximal RCA or mid to distal LAD occlusion. A predominant right ventricular and limited inferior LV AMI from a proximal RCA occlusion, or a smaller anterior AMI from a more distal occlusion of LAD may explain their limited AMI size despite greater ST elevation. 相似文献12.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic importance of ischemic episodes detected by ST-segment monitoring with continuous 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) in a nonselected coronary care unit (CCU) population with chest pain and ECG nondiagnostic of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND: Patients with chest pain and ECG nondiagnostic of AMI constitute a heterogeneous group concerning both diagnosis and prognosis. Continuous 12-lead ECG is a rather new method not thoroughly studied in this population. METHODS: The ST-segment monitoring with continuous 12-lead ECG was performed for 12 h in 630 consecutive patients admitted to CCU due to chest pain and a nondiagnostic ECG, i.e., no ST-segment elevations. An ST-episode was defined as a transient ST-segment depression or elevation of at least 0.10 mV. The median follow-up time was six months. RESULTS: A total of 176 ST-episodes occurred in 100 (15.9%) patients. The median duration and maximal ST-segment deviation in patients with ST-episodes were 80 min and 0.20 mV, respectively. Presence of ST-episodes predicted worse outcome concerning cardiac death and cardiac death or myocardial infarction (MI) (log-rank p < 0.001). At 30 day follow-up procedure, 10% versus 1.5% died from cardiac causes or had an MI in the group with and without ST-episodes, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, only troponin T > or = 0.10 microg/l and the presence of ST-episodes came out as independent predictors of cardiac death or MI. CONCLUSIONS: Continuous 12-lead ECG monitoring provides prognostic information on-line and considerably improves early risk stratification in patients with ECG nondiagnostic of AMI and symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. 相似文献

Background: The ECG is the most widely used accessory for early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies have concentrated on the association between either the number of leads with ST segment deviation (elevation and depression) or the total amount of ST segment elevation and/or depression and prognosis. However, the results are conflicting. Methods: A different method is to use the grades of ischemia as an estimate of infarct or size and prognosis. Grade I ischemia is defined as tall peak T waves with < 0.1 mV ST segment elevation; grade II as ST segment elevation with positive T waves, without distortion of the terminal portion of the QRS; and grade III as ST segment elevation, positive T waves, and distortion of the terminal portion of the QRS. Grade III ischemia on the admission ECG is associated with larger final infarct size and increased mortality. Results: In patients with inferior wall AMI, especially those with prior infarction, the pattern of precordial ST segment depression is even more important and maximal ST depression in V4-V6 is associated with high mortality. Moreover, meticulous interpretation of the initial ECG pattern provides information about the probable site of the culprit obstructive coronary lesion. Conclusion: Thus, the admission ECG of AMI can assist not only in diagnosis, but also in estimation of infarct size, correlation with the underlying coronary anatomy and risk stratification. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The majority of thrombolysis studies require defined ST-segment elevations as an inclusion criterion for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, depending on the occluded infarct vessel and the criteria applied, the ECG diagnosis of AMI can be difficult to establish. Accordingly, this study was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of ST-segment elevation of standard and extended ECG leads in a cohort of patients with angiographically confirmed diagnosis of AMI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 418 patients (mean +/- SD age, 60 +/- 13 years) with AMI (pain onset, 4.8 +/- 3.0 h), coronary angiography with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stenting of the culprit lesion was performed. The diagnosis of AMI was confirmed by emergency coronary angiography and laboratory analyses. ST-segment elevation (in two contiguous leads) of 1 mm in standard lead I through aVF and ST-segment elevations of 2 mm (or 1 mm, corresponding values presented in parentheses) in V(1) through V(6) were considered significant. In a subset of 102 AMI patients, additional right precordial leads V(3)R through V(6)R for evaluation of right ventricular infarction and additional chest leads V(7) through V(9) for evaluation of posterior infarction were recorded. ST-segment elevations of 1 mm in the right precordial leads and 1 mm or 0.5 mm in the posterior leads were considered significant. RESULTS: Standard leads I through V(6) showed ST-segment elevation in 85% (96%) of patients with left anterior descending artery occlusion, in 46% (61%) of patients with left circumflex coronary artery (CX) occlusion, and in 85% (90%) of patients with right coronary artery occlusion. On consideration of additional ECG tracings in the subgroup of 102 patients (V(3)R through V(6)R and V(7) through V(9)), the respective numbers increased by 2 to 8% depending on different criteria for ST-segment elevation; in patients with CX occlusion, the increase amounted to 6 to 14%. There was a trend toward an extended infarct size (maximum creatine kinase [CK] values) with concomitant ST-segment elevation in additional ECG leads as assessed by maximum CK levels. CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivity of the ECG diagnosis of AMI is only marginally increased by extended precordial chest leads. There is a trend toward an extended infarct size in those patients with concomitant ST-segment elevation in additional ECG leads. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ST-segment elevation in lateral leads is associated with a poor prognosis, the significance of the pattern of lateral ST-segment elevation has not been examined. HYPOTHESIS: The aim of the study was to examine the relation of the pattern of lateral ST-segment elevation to myocardial reperfusion and infarct size in patients with AMI. METHODS: We studied 111 patients who had a first AMI presenting with anterolateral ST-segment elevation and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow of the left anterior descending coronary artery within 6 h from symptom onset. Patients were classified into two groups according to the pattern of lateral ST-segment elevation on the admission electrocardiogram: Group 1, 42 patients with equivalent or greater ST-segment elevation in lead I than in lead aVL, and Group 2, 69 patients with lesser ST-segment elevation in lead I in than in lead aVL. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured by predischarge left ventriculography. RESULTS: There were no differences between the two groups in age, gender, time from onset to recanalization, culprit lesion, or collateral development. Group 1 patients had a higher probability of impaired myocardial reperfusion as indicated by a myocardial blush grade of 0 or 1 after recanalization, a higher peak creatine kinase level, and a lower LVEF than Group 2 patients (p = 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that equivalent or greater ST-segment elevation in lead I than in lead aVL is associated with impaired myocardial reperfusion and less myocardial salvage in patients with recanalized AMI who present with anterolateral ST-segment elevation on the admission electrocardiogram. 相似文献

The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) fails to detect ST-segment elevation in patients with posterior wall acute myocardial ischemia. However, additional posterior leads V(7-9) provide limited additional diagnostic information to the standard 12-lead ECG when an ischemic criterion of 1-mm ST elevation is used. No study is available to delineate the ischemic criteria in the posterior electrocardiographic leads. Continuous 15-lead ECGs (standard 12 lead + V(7-9)) were recorded in 53 subjects undergoing elective left circumflex coronary angioplasty (posterior ischemia model). ST amplitudes (J + 60 ms) at preangioplasty baseline were subtracted from maximal ST amplitudes during balloon occlusion to create a positive or negative change score (DeltaST) for each of the 15 leads. During 53 left circumflex occlusions, 26 subjects (49%) had DeltaST elevation of > or = 1 mm and 24 subjects (45%) had DeltaST elevation ranging from 0.5 to 0.95 mm in > or = 1 posterior leads. Five subjects (9%) had DeltaST elevation of > or = 1 mm in the posterior leads without DeltaST elevation anywhere in any of the 12 leads. The sensitivity in detecting myocardial ischemia using 15-lead ECGs (58%) was not statistically different from the standard 12-lead ECG (49%) (p = 0.06). Adjusting the ischemic criterion from 1 to 0.5 mm in V(7-9) significantly improved the sensitivity from 49% in the 12-lead ECG to 94% in the 15-lead ECG (p = 0.000). In addition, 12 subjects (23%) had posterior ST-segment elevation without anterior ST-segment depression. Thus, posterior leads V(7-9) contribute significant additional diagnostic information above and beyond the standard 12-lead ECG only when a new ischemic criterion of 0.5 mm instead of 1 mm ST elevation is applied to the posterior leads. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The impact of ST-segment elevation resolution in lead aVR on outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: Electrocardigrams (ECGs) were recorded on admission and 6 h later in 367 patients with NSTE-ACS. ST-segment deviation >or=0.5 mm was considered significant: 92 patients had ST-segment elevation in lead aVR on admission ECG (ST upward arrowaVR), and 275 did not. Among patients with ST upward arrowaVR, 50 had ST resolution, defined as a reduction >50% in the degree of ST-segment elevation in lead aVR from admission to 6 h later, and 42 did not. ST upward arrowaVR without ST resolution was associated with older age, greater ST-segment depression in other leads on admission and 6 h later, higher rates of positive troponin T, left main and/or 3-vessel coronary disease, and adverse events such as death, (re)infarction, or urgent revascularization within 30 days after admission. Multivariate analysis showed that ST upward arrowaVR without ST resolution was the strongest independent predictor of death or (re)infarction within 30 days after admission (hazard ratio 5.62, p=0.018). CONCLUSIONS: ST upward arrowaVR without ST resolution is a strong predictor of 30-day adverse outcomes and correlates with the extent and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with NSTE-ACS. 相似文献

A critique of the new ST-segment criteria for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in patients with left bundle-branch block 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND: Recently, electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria have been proposed for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the presence of left bundle-branch block (LBBB). However, clinical experience indicates that such ECG changes indicative of AMI are occasionally noted in clinically stable patients with LBBB, raising concerns about the specificity of the proposed criteria. HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of ST-segment abnormalities suggestive of AMI in ambulatory patients with cardiovascular disease and chronic LBBB, who did not have an AMI. In addition, the ECG determinants of such ST-segment abnormalities were sought. METHODS: The files of all (4,193) patients followed in the outpatient cardiology clinic were reviewed to identify patients with LBBB. Electrocardiograms of these patients were evaluated as to the duration of the QRS complex, frontal QRS axis, amplitude of QRS in leads V1-V3, and the presence and magnitude of ST-segment depression (-ST) in leads V1-V3, and ST-segment elevation (+ST) in leads with predominantly positive or negative QRS complexes. Correlations of these ECG variables were carried out. RESULTS: In 124 patients with LBBB only 1 patient with -ST of 1 mm in leads V1-V3, and 1 patient with +ST of 1 mm in a predominantly positive ECG lead were found; the latter patient also had +ST of 6 mm in V3. Nine patients were detected with > or = 5 mm +ST in at least one ECG lead with predominantly negative QRS complex. Regression analysis of amplitude of +STs on corresponding QRS amplitudes in leads V1-V3 yielded Rs of 0.69, 0.68, and 0.69, all with a p value of 0.00005. A similar analysis of the amplitudes of +STs > or = 5 mm with the corresponding QRSs yielded an R = 0.76 and a p value of 0.0018. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, recently proposed ST-segment criteria for the diagnosis of AMI in patients with LBBB are appropriate. However, stable > or = 5 mm +STs are occasionally found in leads with predominantly negative QRS complexes, particularly of large amplitude (mean value 46.0, range [28.0-71.0] mm) in the absence of AMI. In such patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of AMI, further non-ECG confirmation of probable underlying AMI should be sought. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Patients with an anterolateral acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a worse prognosis, and those with additional inferolateral wall involvement might be higher risk because of more extensive area at risk. Lead -aVR obtained by inversion of images in lead aVR has been reported to provide useful information for inferolateral lesion. METHODS: We examined the relation between ST-segment deviation in lead aVR on admission electrocardiogram (ECG) and left ventricular function in 105 patients with an anterolateral AMI undergoing successful reperfusion < or = 6 hours after onset. Patients were classified according to ST-segment deviation in lead aVR on admission ECG: group A, 23 patients with ST elevation of > or = 0.5 mm; group B, 47 patients without ST deviation; and group C, 35 patients with ST depression of > or = 0.5 mm. RESULTS: There were no differences among the 3 groups in age, sex, or site of the culprit lesion. In groups A, B, and C, the peak creatine kinase level was 3661 +/- 1428, 4440 +/- 1889, and 6959 +/- 2712 mU/mL, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by predischarge left ventriculography was 54% +/- 9%, 48% +/- 7%, and 37% +/- 9%, respectively(P < .01). During hospitalization, congestive heart failure occurred more frequently in group C than in groups A or B (P < .05). ST-segment depression in lead aVR had a higher predictive accuracy than other ECG findings in identifying patients with predischarge LVEF < or = 35%. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that in patients with an anterolateral AMI, ST-segment depression in lead aVR on admission ECG is useful for predicting larger infarct and left ventricular dysfunction despite successful reperfusion. 相似文献
