Myocardial infarction and prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Is increased casual blood glucose at admission a reliable criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes?

abstract：:The clinical value of QRST isointegral maps (I-maps) for the detection of myocardial infarction (MI) in the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) was investigated. We recorded I-maps during sinus rhythm and right ventricular (RV) pacing, which simulated LBBB, in 62 patients with MI (42 patients had at least one ...
