Abstract

In this paper we report our experience with the body surface potential mapping techniques for the diagnosis of right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) in patients with acute posterior, inferior or deep septal myocardial infarction (PIDSMI). In particular we looked wether this technique would be more performant than the conventional and easier to assess E.C.G. criteria such as proposed by Candell Riera (↗ST in V4R). The radionuclide ventriculography was taken as reference.
