In this study, normal values for signal averaged electrocardiographic parameters were assessed in healthy pigs (n = 100) and the development of late potentials after myocardial infarction (n = 41) in relation to inducible ventricular tachycardia was investigated. Normal values are: filtered QRS duration (QRS) < or = 78 msec; root mean square voltage of the averaged QRS complex (V(tot)) > or = 51 microV, and duration of terminal activity below 30 microV (D30) < or = 37 msec. The distribution of the root mean square voltage in the last 30 msec (V30) was biphasic. Two weeks after myocardial infarction, QRS was prolonged from 55 +/- 10 to 66 +/- 19 msec (P < 0.002). D30 was prolonged from 19 +/- 6 msec to 28 +/- 13 (P < 0.002). V30 was decreased from 107 +/- 135 microV to 45 +/- 77 (P < 0.02). The total voltage (V(tot)) was decreased from 195 +/- 78 to 123 +/- 61 microV (P < 0.002). In four pigs (19%) late potentials developed. Sustained ventricular tachycardia was inducible in 11 pigs (52%), ventricular fibrillation in two pigs (10%) and eight pigs (38%) were noninducible. Three of 11 inducible pigs and one of the noninducible pigs had a late potential. The incidence of late potentials and their relation to inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia is comparable to the situation in man. Therefore, this pig model is an attractive alternative to the commonly used dog models.

D017180 Tachycardia, Ventricular An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).
