title: [Late ventricular potentials in patients with cardiological X syndrome and their association with ventricular arrhythmias].
abstract: The purpose of the study was to explore late ventricular potentials (LVPs) in patients with cardiological X syndrome (XS), their association with ventricular arrhythmias (VA), with the structure and function of the heart. Fifty-two patients were examined. A control group comprised 17 healthy individuals. LVPs were determined by recording a signal-averaged high resolution (AHR) ECG by means a Megacart-400 device ("Siemens"). It was shown that there was a relationship between LVPs and high-grade VA in patients with XS. The patients with the recorded LVPs were observed to have the enlarged left ventricle (LV) and a significant ST-segment depression during bicycle ergometric tests. Those with LVPs were ascertained to have a relationship between the end LV systolic volume and the values of a single of AHR ECG. At the same time, there was no correlation between the values of a single of AHR ECG and the magnitude of ST-segment depression.
