Slow Ventricular Activation in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Source of Re-entrant Premature Ventricular Contractions
Open accessAbstract
The evolution of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in acute myocardial infarction was studied by recording bipolar potentials from the left ventricle before and after coronary artery occlusion in dogs. The potentials were recorded from 154 locations in the left ventricular wall as well as at the endocardial and epicardial surfaces. Desynchronization and marked slowing of previously uniform activation was noted and resembled abbreviated, local fibrillation. The dissociation of excitation was either simple, characterized by fragmentation into single delayed spikes, or complex, characterized by numerous spikes. Sustained, desynchronized activity, confined to local myocardial areas, was observed up to 215 msec after the onset of activation. These local areas of sustained excitation functioned as a source of re-entrant activity and were associated with PVCs. Histochemical stains of myocardium indicated a relationship between the inhomogeneous distribution of ischemia (stain) and the desynchronization of the electrical activity.

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.
