Key result

Adrenergic activation and inhibition can induce and abolish ST-T alterations, though their influence on ST-T abnormalities in myocardial ischemia and hypertension is limited.

Overview

Should not alter ECG interpretation in ischemia or hypertension; hypothesis-generating for adrenergic effects on repolarization.

O
Outcome
ST-T alterations on electrocardiogramsurrogate

Adrenergic activation and inhibition can modulate ST-T alterations on the ECG, though this effect is limited in the context of myocardial ischemia and hypertension.

Cite This Study

Guazzi et al. (1978) conducted a review in ST-T alterations. Adrenergic activation and inhibition was evaluated on ST-T alterations. Adrenergic activation and inhibition can induce and abolish ST-T alterations, though their influence on ST-T abnormalities in myocardial ischemia and hypertension is limited.
