Sluggish Upstroke of Signal-Averaged QRS Complex. An Arrhythmogenic Sign in Patients with Anteroseptal Myocardial Infarction

Sluggish Upstroke of Signal-Averaged QRS Complex. An Arrhythmogenic Sign in Patients with Anteroseptal Myocardial Infarction

Non-invasive recording of the late potential (LP) by signal-averaging technique is useful in predicting ventricular tachycardia (VT), especially in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, the rate of positive LP is much lower in anterior or anteroseptal MI than inferior MI since the LP is...
