Postextrasystolic changes in ventricular depolarization (electrocardiographic observations).
Postextrasystolic changes in ventricular depolarization were found in patients with coronary artery disease in two situations: a) after a compensatory postextrasystolic pause and, b) after an interpolated ventricular beat. The explanation and the underlying conditions of this phenomenon are discussed. In our opinion the postextrasystolic change may be a silent myocardial ischemia.
