Correlation between signal-averaged electrocardiogram and programmed stimulation in patients with and without spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias

This study examined the incidence of delayed ventricular activation on signal-averaged electrocardiograms and the incidence of inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) at programmed stimulation (1 or 2 extrastimuli) in patients with and patients without spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmi...

Zusammenfassung:This study examined the incidence of delayed ventricular activation on signal-averaged electrocardiograms and the incidence of inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) at programmed stimulation (1 or 2 extrastimuli) in patients with and patients without spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The correlation between delayed ventricular activation and inducible VT was investigated in 371 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In 32 patients with no ventricular disease and no spontaneous arrhythmias (group 1), ventricular activation time averaged 115 ± 2 ms, compared with 166 ± 3 ms (p
