[Epicardial scintigraphy in 4 cases of ventricular tachycardia caused by reentry of blood after myocardial infarct. Study of intra-ventricular conduction disorders in sinus rhythm and in tachycardia, and their relations to anatomical data].
Ventricular pericardial cartography in sinus rhythm (SR) and during ventricular tachycardia (VT) in four cases of myocardial infarction has yielded additional information in the study of conduction disorders in myocardial ischaemia: 1. The significant slowing of activity in SR as well as in VT is demonstrated by this direct method. It is associated with a diminution in amplitude of the pericardial potentials in the zones affected by the ischaemia; 2. Cartography during VT accentuates or reveals disorders of conduction which are slight or latent in SR; 3. Disorders of intra-ventricular conduction are found to be related either to segmental blocks on the branches of the bundle of His, or as focal blocks (peri-infarct block) on the left side, whose nature can be shown up even during VT; 4. Secondary activation of the myocardial fiber found to be related either to segmental blocks on the bundle of His during VT is demonstrated.
