Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The possibility of estimating infarct size with body surface QRST integral (IQRST) maps was investigated in dogs. IQRST maps were constructed from 87-lead body surface ECGs, which were recorded 1 week after the production of anterior myocardial infarction during artificial pacing that simulated normal conduction, left bundle branch block, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in 11 dogs. Small differences were observed between the IQRST maps of the normal conduction and left bundle branch block models (r = 0.93, root mean square difference = 8.71 mVmsec) and between the normal conduction and Wolff-Parkinson-White models (r = 0.96, root mean square difference = 6.03 mVmsec). Summation of the QRST integral values over the body surface leads (QRST index) inversely correlated with infarct size in all three conductions models: r = 0.91 (p < 0.001) in the normal conduction model; r = -0.81 (p < 0.001) in the left bundle branch block model; and r = -0.86 (p < 0.001) in the Wolff-Parkinson-White model. These results show that IQRST maps permit noninvasive estimation of infarct size, even in the presence of abnormal activation sequences.
