The value of high frequency QRS potentials (HFQRS) during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was assessed to define infarct size and prognosis. HFQRS were recorded by signal-averaged ECG with 150-250 Hz frequency ranges, using X, Y, Z orthogonal leads. Recordings were obtained in surviving AMI patients (n = 33, 12 inferior, 11 anterior, 10 anterior-inferior) on the first and tenth days, but in non-survived patients (n = 5, 2 inferior, 1 anterior, 2 anterior-inferior) only on the first day. Additionally, the frequency of ventricular tachycardia (VT) was evaluated by 24-h Holter monitoring in all patients at the same days. The control group consisted of 11 healthy people. In surviving AMI patients, RMS voltage of vector magnitude reduced in anterior and anterior-inferior MI but filtered QRS duration was longer in inferior MI than normals (P < 0.05, < 0.05, < 0.01, respectively). In nonsurvived patients, RMS voltages of leads X, Y, Z and vector magnitude were lower than normals (P < 0.01, < 0.05, < 0.01, < 0.01, respectively) and surviving AMI patients (P < 0.01, < 0.05, < 0.05, < 0.05, respectively), the filtered QRS duration was found to be longer than normals and survived patients (P < 0.01, < 0.01). In patients who had VT on Holter monitoring, filtered QRS duration was significantly longer than in patients without VT (P < 0.05). As a result, HFQRS was important for defining infarct size but not malignant ventricular arrhythmias. VT was related to filtered QRS duration. HFQRS may offer significant prognostic information and contribute to early risk stratification of AMI patients. |
