The spatial vector method of interpretation provides a simple and rational basis for interpreting bizarre S-T and T wave forms, including the isolated T-negativity syndrome.
Spatial vector electrocardiography offers a rational approach to interpreting complex ST-T wave abnormalities, including those mimicking myocardial infarction.
The application of a spatial vector method of interpretation to the S-T and T deflections in the conventional electrocardiogram is described, and the vector abnormalities responsible for the more commonly encountered deformities are discussed. In addition, the isolated T-negativity syndrome is described, a rare type of precordial T-wave inversion which may be encountered in normal subjects and is often indistinguishable from the ST-T deformity of recent myocardial infarction. The spatial vector method of interpretation is found to provide a simple yet rational basis for the interpretation of these often bizarre wave forms.
Grant et al. (Thu,) conducted a review in Electrocardiogram abnormalities. Spatial vector method of interpretation was evaluated. The spatial vector method of interpretation provides a simple and rational basis for interpreting bizarre S-T and T wave forms, including the isolated T-negativity syndrome.
