- Background: In traditional literature, it appears that "anteroseptal" MIs with Q waves in V1-V3 involve basal anteroseptal segments although studies have questioned this belief. Methods: We studied patients with first acute anterior Q-wave (>. 30. ms) MI. All underwent late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results: Those with Q waves in V1-V2 (n = 7) evidenced LGE >. 50% in 0%, 43%, 43%, 57%, and 29% of the basal anteroseptal, mid anteroseptal, apical anterior, apical septal segments, and apex, respectively. Patients with Q waves in V1-V3 (n = 14), evidenced involvement was 14%, 43%, 43%, 50%, and 7% of the same respective segments. In those with extensive anterior Q waves (n = 7), involvement was 0%, 71%, 57%, 86%, and 86%. Conclusions: Q-wave MI in V1-V2/V3 primarily involves mid- and apical anterior and anteroseptal segments rather than basal segments. Data do not support existence of isolated basal anteroseptal or septal infarction. "Anteroapical infarction" is a more appropriate term than "anteroseptal infarction.".

- Background: Anteroseptal ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is traditionally defined on the electrocardiogram (ECG) by ST elevation (STE) in leads V1-V3, with or without involvement of lead V4. It is commonly taught that such infarcts affect the basal anteroseptal myocardial segment. While there are suggestions in the literature that Q waves limited to V1-V4 represent predominantly apical infarction, none have evaluated anteroseptal ST elevation territories. We compared the distribution of the myocardium at risk (MaR) in STEMI patients presenting with STE limited to V1-V4 and those with more extensive STE (V1-V6). Methods: We identified patients in the MITOCARE study presenting with a first acute STEMI and new STE in at least two contiguous anterior leads from V1 to V6. Patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging three to five days after acute infarction. Results: Thirty-two patients met inclusion criteria. In patients with STE in V1-V4 (n = 20), myocardium at risk (MaR) > 50% was seen in 0%, 85%, 75%, 100%, and 90% in the basal anteroseptal, mid anteroseptal, apical anterior, apical septal segments, and apex, respectively. The group with STE in V1-V6 (n = 12), MaR > 50% was seen in 8%, 83%, 83%, 92%, and 83% of the same segments. Conclusions: Patients with acute STEMI and STE in leads V1-V4, exhibit MaR in predominantly apical territories and rarely in the basal anteroseptum. We found no evidence to support existence of isolated basal anteroseptal or septal STEMI. “Anteroapical” infarction is a more precise description than “anteroseptal” infarction for acute STEMI patients exhibiting STE in V1-V4.

- Background: Terminal "QRS distortion" on the electrocardiogram (ECG) (based on Sclarovsky-Birnbaum's Grades of Ischemia Score) is a sign of severe ischemia, associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In addition, ECG indices of the acuteness of ischemia (based on Anderson-Wilkins Acuteness Score) indicate myocardial salvage potential. We assessed whether severe ischemia with or without acute ischemia is predictive of infarct size (IS), myocardial salvage index (MSI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in anterior versus inferior infarct locations. Methods: In STEMI patients, the severity and acuteness scores were obtained from the admission ECG. Based on the ECG patients were assigned with severe or non-severe ischemia and acute or non-acute ischemia. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed 2-6. days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). LVEF was measured by echocardiography 30. days after pPCI. Results: ECG analysis of 85 patients with available CMR resulted in 20 (23%) cases with severe and non-acute ischemia, 43 (51%) with non-severe and non-acute ischemia, 17 (20%) with non-severe and acute ischemia, and 5 (6%) patients with severe and acute ischemia. In patients with anterior STEMI (n = 35), ECG measures of severity and acuteness of ischemia identified significant and stepwise differences in myocardial damage and function. Patients with severe and non-acute ischemia had the largest IS, smallest MSI and lowest LVEF. In contrast, no difference was observed in patients with inferior STEMI (n = 50). Conclusions: The applicability of ECG indices of severity and acuteness of myocardial ischemia to estimate myocardial damage and salvage potential in STEMI patients treated with pPCI, is confined to anterior myocardial infarction.

- In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with fibrinolytics, electrocardiogram-derived measures of ST-segment recovery guide therapy decisions and predict infarct size. The comprehension of these relationships in patients undergoing mechanical reperfusion is limited. We studied 144 patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We aimed to define the association between infarct size as determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and different metrics of ST-segment recovery. Electrocardiograms were assessed at baseline and 90 minutes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Three methods for calculating and categorizing ST-segment recovery were used: (1) summed ST-segment deviation (STD) resolution analyzed in 3 categories (> or = 70%, > or = 30% to <70%, and <30%); (2) single-lead STD resolution analyzed in the same 3 categories; (3) worst-lead residual STD analyzed in 3 categories (<1 mm, 1 to <2 mm, and > or = 2 mm). Infarct size and ejection fraction were assessed at 4 months by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. All 3 ST-segment recovery algorithms predicted the final infarct size and cardiac function. Worst-lead residual STD performed the same as, or better than, the more complex methods and identified large subgroups at either end of the risk spectrum (median infarct size from the lowest to highest risk category (percentage of left ventricle: 7.7% [interquartile range 10.8], 13.1% [interquartile range 13.6]; 24.6% [interquartile range 21.1]); with adjusted odds ratios for infarct size greater than the median (reference <1 mm): 1 to <2 mm, odds ratio 2.3 (95% confidence interval 0.8 to 5.9); > or = 2 mm, odds ratio 6.3 (95% confidence interval 1.7 to 23.7; c-index 0.781). In conclusion, an electrocardiogram obtained early after primary percutaneous coronary intervention analyzed by a simple algorithm provided prognostic information on the final infarct size and cardiac function.

- The aim of our study was to examine the pathophysiology of ST depression (STD) in leads V1-V3 in the setting of inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction (iSTEMI) through the perspective of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods: Differences in myocardial area at risk (MaR), infarct size, ejection fraction and myocardial segment involvement by CMR were compared in MITOCARE trial patients with first iSTEMI with ST elevation (STE), STD or no ST changes (NST) in V1-V3. The frontal plane projection of the inferior wall MaR in relationship to the anterior/posterior chest wall was calculated and compared between groups. Results: Fifty-six patients were included. Patients with STD (n = 38) and STE (n = 5) in V1-V3 had significantly larger mean MaR compared to NST (n = 13; 32 ± 7%LV, 36 ± 10%LV and 26 ± 6%LV, respectively; p = 0.01). STD in leads V1-V3 was associated with more apical inferior and mid inferoseptal involvement and had a larger mean frontal plane projection of MaR compared with NST (24 ± 6%LV vs. 20 ± 6%LV, p = 0.04). Conclusion: STD in V1-V3 in iSTEMI is associated with larger MaR, more extension into the inferoseptal segments and likely results from greater frontal plane projection of the MaR, leading to reciprocal changes on the electrocardiogram.

- Objective. We aim to determine the correlation between ST-segment changes in leads V4–V6 and the extent of myocardial injury by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with inferior ST elevation (STE) myocardial infarction (iSTEMI). Design. Admission electrocardiogram and CMR data from the MITOCARE trial were used. Differences in mean myocardium at risk, infarct size, ejection fraction and myocardial segment involvement by CMR were compared in patients with first iSTEMI with STE, ST depression (STD) or no ST changes (NST) in V4–V6. Myocardial segment involvement was further evaluated by comparing proportion of patients in each group with ≥25% and ≥50% segment involvement. Results. Fifty-four patients were included. Patients with STE (n = 22) and STD (n = 16) in V4–V6 had significantly lower ejection fraction compared to NST (n = 16) (48% vs 48% vs 54%, p = .02). STE showed more apical, apical lateral and mid-inferolateral involvement but less basal inferior involvement than NST. STD exhibited greater basal inferoseptal involvement compared to STE. There were more patients with STE that had ≥25% and ≥50% apical lateral involvement compared with STD and NST groups. Patients with STD were more likely to have ≥25% and ≥50% basal inferoseptal involvement compared with STE and NST groups.Conclusion. Our study suggests that in iSTEMI, ST changes in the precordial leads V4–V6 correlates with greater myocardial injury and distribution of myocardium at risk.

- BACKGROUND: Because patients with acute left circumflex occlusion are typically characterized primarily on the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) by ST depression, they do not qualify to receive reperfusion therapy. Documentation of a relationship between the quantities of acute ST change and final QRS estimated acute myocardial infarction (AMI) size could form the basis for clinical trials to determine the value of reperfusion therapy. METHOD: The Fragmin and Fast Revascularization during Instability in Coronary artery disease trial included 3214 patients with unstable coronary artery disease. Two percent of the patients (n = 69) had maximum ST-segment depression in leads V 1 through V 3 and were selected for this study. Initial ECG changes were compared to final myocardial infarction size, using the Selvester QRS score as the end point. RESULTS: The quantity of initial ST-segment deviation correlated with the final AMI size (r = 0.43, P < .0005). The formula 3[0.22 (SigmaST downward arrow + SigmaST upward arrow) -0.02], where downward arrow indicates depression and upward arrow elevation, derived from measurements on the initial ECG, predicted the size of the AMI in percentage of the left ventricle as estimated on the final ECG. The study population had a large proportion of AMI (73%) indicated to be in or adjacent to the posterior left ventricular wall. CONCLUSION: The quantitative initial ST-segment deviation correlates linearly to the final AMI size in patients with maximum ST-segment depression in leads V 1 through V 3. The formula derived could be valuable for selecting patients who fail to meet strict ST-elevation AMI criteria for emergency intravenous or intracoronary reperfusion therapy.

- ST-segment measurements in the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) of patients with acute coronary syndromes are crucial for these patients' management. Our objective was to determine whether the 12-lead ECG derived from the 3-lead EASI system can attain a level of diagnostic performance similar to that of the Mason-Likar (ML) 12-lead ECG acquired in clinical practice (CP) by paramedics and emergency department technicians. Using 120-lead body surface potential maps recorded before and during balloon inflation angioplasty from 88 patients (divided into "responders" and "nonresponders"), and electrode placement data from 60 applications of precordial leads in CP, we generated for the "nonischemic" and "ischemic' states of each patient the following lead sets: the ML 12-lead ECG, the EASI-derived 12-lead ECG, and 60 sets of 12-lead CP ECGs. We extracted ST deviations at J + 60 milliseconds, summed them for all 12 leads of each lead set to obtain Sigma ST, and, by using the bootstrap method, determined the mean sensitivity and specificity for recognizing the "ischemic' state at various thresholds of Sigma ST. Results were displayed as receiver operating characteristics, and the area under these curves (AUC) +/- SE was used as the measure of diagnostic performance. AUC SE for all patients were ML ECG, 0.66 +/- 0.03; EASI ECG, 0.64 +/- 0.03; and CP ECG, 0.67 +/- 0.03. Corresponding results for responders only were 0.81 +/- 0.04 for ML ECG, 0.78 +/- 0.04 for EASI ECG, and 0.81 +/- 0.04 for CP ECG. The differences between the AUCs for the different lead sets were not significant (P >.05). Thus, the EASI-derived 12-lead ECG is as good for detecting acute ischemia as is the 12-lead ECG acquired in CP. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
