Implication

Direct epicardial ECG during surgery is feasible in hypertrophy; leaves open clinical utility and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

7 patients subjected to thoracotomy for various forms of heart surgery (3 tetralogy of Fallot, 1 mitral stenosis, 1 coarctation of the aorta, 1 probable pulmonary atresia, 1 patent ductus arteriosus)

Intervention

Direct epicardial electrocardiographic recording using an exploring electrode applied directly to the epicardium after incision of the pericardium

Outcome

Electrocardiographic patterns in different regions of the right and left ventricular epicardial surfacessurrogate

Direct epicardial electrocardiography during surgery allows for the characterization of ventricular activation patterns in patients with various forms of ventricular hypertrophy.
