Abstract

Endocardial catheter mapping of the left ventricle was performed in 40 patients during right ventricular pacing to determine the effect of underlying myocardial infarction on endocardial activation. Group I comprised 18 patients without infarction, Group II 12 patients with inferior infarction and Group III 10 patients with anteroseptal infarction. Thirty-nine of the 40 patients had only a single left ventricular breakthrough site located on the midseptum in 33 cases, apical septum in 4 cases and basal septum in 2 cases. The earliest left ventricular local activation time during right ventricular pacing was earlier in Group III (40 +/- 11 ms) than in Group I (55 +/- 17 ms) and Group II (60 +/- 15 ms) (p less than 0.01). Total endocardial activation time was significantly longer in Group III (118 +/- 30 ms) than in Group I (76 +/- 14 ms) and Group II (72 +/- 20 ms) (p less than 0.001). The latest left ventricular site of activation during right ventricular pacing was the inferoposterior base in 14 (77%) of the 18 Group I patients, and 10 (83%) of the 12 Group II patients. The latest site of activation in Group III patients was variable. It is concluded that: left ventricular endocardial activation patterns and conduction times are influenced by the site of previous infarction. Longer total endocardial activation in Group III suggests that specialized conducting tissue in the septal and anterior walls may play an important role in left ventricular activation during right ventricular pacing.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
