title: [Electrocardiogram in acute period of myocardial infarction: from ischemia severity and size of myocardial injury to clinical outcome].
abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) registered in acute period of myocardial infarction (MI) can be used not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for prediction of extent of myocardial injury and assessment of prognosis. This review covers assessment of acute ischemia in MI using Sclarovsky-Birnbaum classification and Anderson-Wilkins score, prediction of myocardial injury and necrosis size using changes of repolarization and depolarization and relation of these characteristics to clinical outcome. The importance of ECG-assessment during reperfusion, particularly using continuous ECG-monitoring, is also discussed.
