Key result
Epicardial ST segment mapping correlates with creatine kinase activity and histological appearance of necrosis in myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Do ST segment elevations predict electrocardiographic signs of necrosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Do ST segment elevations predict electrocardiographic signs of necrosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
The study investigates whether ST segment elevations can predict electrocardiographic signs of necrosis in acute myocardial infarction.
Epicardial ST mapping may estimate necrosis extent in MI; leaves open translation to surface ECG and clinical decisions.
The concept that the size of a myocardial infarct can be modified in experimental animals after coronary occlusion has gained support from studies using the method of epicardial ST segment map- ping, correlated with analyses of creatine kinase (CK) activity and histological appearance of myo- cardial biopsies (Maroko et al., 1971, 1972b;
