Acute myocardial infarction and fascicular block. 1981

A G Arcebal, and L Lemberg

Left anterior fascicular block may mask an IWMI. On the other hand, a narrow QS deflection in a VF is often misinterpreted as evidence of extensive inferior wall infarction. Vectorcardiographic analysis usually establishes the coexistence of LAFB and IWMI. Standard Lead II of the ECG is the most valuable in differentiating the etiology of ALAD: (1) rS pattern in LAFB, (2) Qr or QR in IWMI, or (3) a QS pattern or a smaller or slurred r wave with a deep S wave in combined IWMI and LAFB.

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
