Does electrokymography improve the detection of localized areas of myocardial damage compared to roentgenkymography in patients with myocardial infarction?
Does electrokymography improve the detection of localized areas of myocardial damage compared to roentgenkymography in patients with myocardial infarction?
Electrokymography provides superior detection of localized myocardial damage compared to roentgenkymography in patients with myocardial infarction.
Does not support clinical adoption for myocardial damage detection; leaves open its role versus modern imaging in prospective studies.
The authors present two cases of myocardial infarction to demonstrate that electrokymography is superior to roentgenkymography as a method for detecting localized areas of myocardial damage. This superiority is based principally on greater ease of exploration of the ventricular pulsations, clearer delineation of the kymographic curve as a result of greater magnification, and more accurate analysis of the phases of the cardiac cycle by simultaneous recording and integration with other graphic tracings.
