[Changes of the first electrocardiographic derivative in patients with ischemic heart disease].
Timely recognition of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the main tasks of cardiology. As a result the search for ways of early recognition of pathologic changes of the myocardium is continuing. Analysis of the first electrocardiographic derivative allows making more detailed assessment of repolarization processes in ventricles. Aim of this study was to assess possibility of the use of analysis of the first electrocardiographic derivative in diagnosis of ischemic changes of myocardium. We examined 61 patients (mean age 63.9+/-9.4 years) with proven ischemic heart disease (IHD). Control group included 92 subjects (mean age 33.1+/-15.4 years) without cardiovascular diseases. Basing on obtained results a conclusion was made that temporal and velocity parameters of the first electrocardiographic derivative changed dramatically during myocardial ischemia: all intervals became lengthened and velocity parameters decreased. Thus analysis of the first electrocardiographic derivative can be useful in differential diagnosis of myocardial ischemic changes.
