Diagnosis of old inferior myocardial infarction by body surface isopotential mapping. 1977

G M Vincent, and J A Abildskov, and M J Burgess, and K Millar, and R L Lux, and R F Wyatt

Body surface isopotential maps obtained from 28 patients with old inferior wall myocardial infarction were compared with maps from 120 normal subjects. The 12 lead electrocardiogram of 8 of the 28 patients (29 percent) with inferior wall infarction was normal or showed only nondiagnostic ST-T wave abnormalities at the time the isopotential maps were obtained. In all patients with inferior wall infarction the isopotential map showed a minimum (area of negative potentials) on the inferior or right thoracic surface during the early portions of the QRS complex. This finding was observed in patients with normal or nonspecific abnormalities in the 12 lead electrocardiogram as well as those with QRS abnormalities. By contrast, the minimum during the early QRS complex in normal subjects was located on the right upper back and shoulder region...
