Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We classified 33 patients with a first anterior infarction and single-vessel disease who had undergone successful primary angioplasty and had a patent infarct-related artery into groups based on the development of late potentials. Left ventricular function improved between 1 and 3 months after angioplasty only in patients without late potentials; the development of late potentials after acute anterior infarction was associated with prolonged left ventricular dysfunction despite successful revascularization with primary angioplasty.
