Urges caution in ECG-based ischemic size estimates; leaves open human translation of lead-specific ST relationships.
How do precordial and epicardial TQ and ST segment deflections relate to the size, shape, and transmural location of myocardial ischemia in a pig model?
Precordial and epicardial ECG TQ and ST segment deflections are complex functions of ischemic geometry, making their interpretation regarding ischemic size and shape difficult.
Holland et al. (1975) studied this question.
