Incessant ventricular tachycardia complicating acute myocardial infarction: treatment by map-guided infarctectomy. 1987

L C Yao, and J Barton, and L P Sterns, and D P Humen

A 58-year-old man developed incessant ventricular tachycardia on the fourth and fifth days following acute anterior myocardial infarction. The tachycardia was resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs, cardioversion and pacing. Preoperative and intraoperative mapping suggested a subendocardial origin, and successful infarctectomy was performed on the fifth day of the infarction.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
