VCG may detect severe LV asynergy more often than ECG; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice in CAD.
Can vectorcardiogram and electrocardiogram accurately diagnose severe left ventricular asynergy of the anterior and apical segments in patients with coronary artery disease?
Vectorcardiography may be more sensitive than standard ECG for detecting severe anterior and apical left ventricular asynergy in patients with coronary artery disease.
Young et al. (1975) studied this question.
