Key result
Detailed reconstruction of ischemic ventricular lesions supports reclassifying myocardial damage into four distinct categories.
Observational (n=100)
Methods, designed to study in detail the lesions resulting from coronary disease and to reconstruct accurately the form of all ventricular muscle lesions, have been applied to 100 consecutive electrocardiographed patients who were found to have at least one severe coronary narrowing. Reclassification of lesions into four categories was found necessary to deal with the patterns of damage disclosed. This approach permits conclusions regarding evolution of muscle damage, relationships of arterial obstruction to muscle damage distribution, and the significance of ischemia which would have been impossible otherwise. The value of the new classification for electrocardiography will be discussed in a subsequent section of the report.

SAŸEN et al. (1955) conducted an observational in Coronary disease (n=100). Detailed reconstruction and reclassification of ventricular muscle lesions was evaluated. Detailed study and accurate reconstruction of ventricular muscle lesions in 100 patients with severe coronary narrowing required the reclassification of lesions into four categories.
