Diagnostic value of electrocardiogram and vectorcardiogram in postinfarction ventricular asynergy.

Abstract：

:The ability of ECG-VCG to predict the severity of postinfarction LV asynergy was evaluated in 152 patients with previous myocardial infarction who underwent left cineventriculography in the right anterior oblique view. Various ECG and VCG signs were examined in order to predict the existence of severe asynergy in general (dyskinesia or akinesia or severe hypokinesia) and of dyskinesia in particular. In patients with inferior myocardial infarction (Group A) persistent ST segment elevation was the only specific ECG sign (100%) of severe asynergy; it had a poor sensitivity (6.2%). Four frontal VCG signs (presence of terminal bite, y- greater than 0.18 mV, maximum early superior vector along x axis = MESV greater than or equal to 1.3 mV, duration of initial superior forces = DISF greater than 50 msec) increased the sensitivity of the ECG-VCG method to 75.8% while maintaining a 100% specificity. Regarding the diagnosis of dyskinesia, only the ECG sign of persistent ST segment elevation and the VCG sign of y- greater than or equal to 0.3 mV had a 100% specificity. The sensitivity of the ECG-VCG method was 33.3% (16.6% ECG and 16.6% VCG). In patients with anterior myocardial infarction (Group B), concerning the diagnosis of severe asynergy, the ECG signs of sigma ST greater than 3 mm in anterior leads; pathologic Q wave in four or more anterior leads (including D1 and aVL); and the presence of LAH or LAH + RBBB, had a 100% specificity and a good sensitivity (60.5%). The VCG sign of a narrow horizontal QRS loop increased the sensitivity of the ECG-VCG method to 71% while maintaining a 100% specificity. As for the diagnosis of dyskinesia, the ECG signs with a 100% specificity were sigma ST greater than or equal to 5 mm in anterior leads, a pathologic Q wave in more than five anterior leads (including I and a VL) and RBBB + LAH; these variables had a sensitivity of 48.3%. The VCG sign of a narrow horizontal QRS loop increased the sensitivity of the ECG-VCG method to 79.3% while maintaining a 100% specificity. In patients with inferior plus anterior myocardial infarction (Group A + B) the signs mentioned above for each group were evaluated, confirming a 100% specificity. Regarding the diagnosis of severe asynergy, the ECG signs had a sensitivity of 61.3%, while VCG increased the sensitivity of the ECG-VCG method to 90.3%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
