Prinzmetal's work and the "Sclarovsky-Birnbaum ischemia score" for acute myocardial infarction: a parallel in systematizing electrocardiographic knowledge.
In this viewpoint, the author traces back in time the original (? if possible) description of the electrocardiographic hallmarks of myocardial ischemic injury leading to myocardial infarction. In this venture, he detects a parallel between the work of Prinzmetal et al and that of Sclarovsky and Birnbaum and al, in their approach to research, which is based on systemization and utilization of electrocardiographic knowledge.
