Use of changes in the epicardial QRS complex to assess interventions which modify the extent of myocardial necrosis following coronary artery occlusion.

Abstract: The goal of this study was to determine if changes in the epicardial QRS complex after coronary artery occlusion (CAO) can be used to evaluate the efficacy of interventions designed to limit infarct size. Forty-one open-chest dogs with CAO were studied: 15 were controls, 18 received hyaluronidase and eight received propranolol starting 20 minutes after CAO. Epicardial ECGs were recorded at specific time intervals to analyze ST-segment elevation and changes in Q and R waves. Transmural specimens were obtained 2… Show more

“…However, these mapping procedures in the non-CVF treated (group I) baboons predicted subsequent severe myocardial necrosis, 24 h later. Other investigators pre-viously have demonstrated that the ST-segment elevation recorded 15 min after coronary occlusion is an excellent predictor of epicardial Q-waves 6 and 24 h later (21 (Fig. 2d).…”

“…Because the effects of GIK solution might be secondary to limitation of the area of injury, ECG mapping was obtained from the 21 (27). The group infused with mannitol did not demonstrate a significant change compared to the saline-infused animals.…”

“…Propranolol has been shown to exert a beneficial effect on myocardial ischemia both in experimental animals and in man (2,7,9,19,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). Although most ofthese studies are based on indirect methods for measuring ischemic injury, in others the salutary effects of propranolol have been based on morphologic observations (34,35,37).…”
