The angioplasty of a critical lesion of the proximal left anterior descending artery was performed successfully and to the authors' knowledge, this is the first incident of its kind to be reported.
Fragmented QRS as a Marker of Electrical Dyssynchrony to Predict Inter-Ventricular Conduction Defect by Subsequent Echocardiographic Assessment in Symptomatic Patients of Non-Ischemic Dilated…
Fragmentation of QRS complex is an important predictor of electro-mechanical dyssynchrony and helpful in localizing the dyssynchronous segment and larger studies may be carried out to investigate the role of fQRS as a predictor of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in this subgroup of HF patients with narrow QRS.
PREdiction of ST deviations in lead aVR as a noninvasive tool to predict the infarct-Related coronary artery in patients with acute Inferior-wall Myocardial Infarction (The PREST-RIMI Study)
Evaluation of ST deviations in lead aVR offers good sensitivity and specificity for LCx and RCA occlusions in patients with acute inferior-wall myocardial infarction, and using multiple ECG criteria may provide earlier and better identification of the IRA.
