Abstract | In the perspective study we tested the hypothesis that successful aortocoronary by-pass procedure performed in reversible ishemic areas of the cardiac muscle can be documented by the study of ST-40ms isointegral maps prior and after aortocoronary revascularisation with the combination of dipyridamole stress testing. Eight patients (1 female), age from 47 to 72 years were included in the study. The patients with conduction and rhythm disturbances, left main stenosis, and/or unstable angina pectoris were excluded from the study. The body surface potentials were recorded in lyiing position with unipolar leads referenced to the Wilson central terminal with 32 electrodes (Ag-AgCl disks). Ten seconds intervals of 32 lead ECG were recorded before dipyridamole infusion and 10 minutes after it, both prior and after the operation. J point was determined and ST-40ms isointegral maps were calculated and compared. | |
