May aid ECG detection of prior MI in paced patients; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.
Can specific electrocardiographic criteria accurately diagnose prior myocardial infarction in patients with right ventricular pacing?
The combination of Cabrera's and Chapman's signs on a paced electrocardiogram provides useful clinical information for recognizing prior myocardial infarction, though it cannot localize the infarct site.
Kochiadakis et al. (2002) studied this question.
