May support late-potential analysis for post-MI VT risk stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Does high-resolution electrocardiography recording of cardiac late potentials identify post-myocardial infarction patients at risk for ventricular tachycardia?
High-resolution ECG for detecting cardiac late potentials is a valuable tool for risk-stratifying post-myocardial infarction patients for ventricular tachycardia.
Edward J. Berbari (1988) conducted a review in Myocardial infarction. High-resolution electrocardiography was evaluated. High-resolution electrocardiography and late-potential analysis are useful for identifying patients at greatest risk for developing ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction.
