Can body surface mapping detect myocardial ischemia and right ventricular changes in patients with ischemic heart disease or chronic pulmonary disease?
Body surface mapping can identify atypical locations of maximal ST depression during isoproterenol stress in ischemic heart disease and correlates with right ventricular changes in chronic pulmonary disease.
Matsushita et al. (1981) studied this question.
