363 pts, 307 men, 56 women, consecutively admitted for syncope and history of MI (> 1 month), without VT underwent echocardiography, Holter monitoring, head-up tilt-test, exercise testing, signal-averaged ECG, electrophysiological study (EPS) and evaluation of coronary status. They were followed...
and ECG results alone.3In a study of patients who presented at least 3 hours after symptom onset in Scotland, a single-sample rule-out hs-cTnI test with a cutoff of 5 ng/dL reported a reduced ED length of stay, increased rate of ED discharge, and low incidence of MI or...

Methods: ECGs and CMR from 548 patients (age 61 + 11 years, 79% male) with previous myocardial infarction (MI), from the DETERMINE and PRE-DETERMINE studies, were analyzed. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of each criterion for ...
Findings in animals indicate that VF characteristics are also affected by the presence of a previous myocardial infarction (MI). As studies in humans are scarce, we assessed the impact of a previous MI on VF characteristics in ICD-patients.Bonnes, Judith L.Thannhauser, JosHermans, Mathilde C....

The VF waveform is affected by the presence of a previous MI. Amplitude-related measures were lower and VF was less organised in the ECG-lead(s) adjacent to the area of infarction. Although VF characteristics of the surface ECG have so far primarily been considered a proxy for arrest ...
In conclusion, the exclusion of a previous MI based solely on electrocardiographic findings should be done with caution. Future studies are needed to define which patients should be referred to additional diagnostic testing.CarolineJaarsmaSebastiaan...
