Does signal-averaged ECG detection of late potentials predict delayed epicardial activation and sustained ventricular tachycardia inducibility in a canine model of myocardial infarction?
Late potentials recorded by signal averaging reflect delayed epicardial activation and accurately predict the inducibility of sustained ventricular tachycardia in a canine model of myocardial infarction.
