The aim of our study was to assess if repolarization BSPM were able to evaluate the site, size and severity of chronic ischaemic damages and if BSPM were in any way related to the regional attenuation of myocardial contractility or to the site of coronary artery occlusion. The BSPM were obtained from 69 patients suffering from coronary artery disease confirmed by coronarography, with at least 75% occlusion of at least one coronary artery. According to the site of single occlusion, or a combination of the sites of multiple occlusions, the patients were divided into 6 subgroups. According to the region of attenuated kinetics the same group of 69 patients was also divided into other 6 subgroups. As in the polarity distribution there was only a limited accordance in BSPM with coronarographic and echocardiographic findings, in the localization of extreme values there were very important specific changes in patients with normal kinetics as determined by both contrast ventriculography and two-dimensional echocardiography. The repolarization maps can distinguish patients with coronary artery disease and normal echocardiography from healthy persons with a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 65% in the case of the isoareal map from the ST segment (RIAM) and 90% and 85%, respectively, in the case of the isointegral map from the whole ST-T segments (RIIM). |
