25 myocardial ischemia 可分為 1. subendocardial ischemia 2. subepicardial ischemia (=transmural ischemia) myocardial injury 也可分為 1. subendocardial injury 2. subepicardial injury (=transmural injury)

26 Myocardial ischemia and ST-T changes 正常狀況下, 心室去極化是由 endocardium 到 epicardium, 再極化剛好相反, 由 epi 到 endocardium, 但再極化跟去極化電性相反, 所以心室去極化跟再極化的電氣方向 (polarity) 大致相同 ( 所以 QRS 方向跟 T 的方向大多相近 ) 但 ischemia 時, Na-K pump 失去活性 (reduced ATP production), 所以再極化的速度減慢, 或根本形成 partial depolarization status, 於是 ST segment and/or T wave 會有變化

27 其心電圖特徵為 : Subendocardial ischemia: prolonged QT interval or increased amplitude of the T wave or both Subepicardial or transmural ischemia: inversion of the T waves Subendocardial injury: ST segment depression Subepicardial or transmural injury: ST segment elevation

28

29

30 Two cause of ST segment deviation during myocardial ischemia Shortening and decreased amplitude of the action potential Depolarization (i.e. a less negative resting membrane potential) ----Potential differences ----Systolic current of injury

31 Depolarization creates potential differences, resulting in a diastolic current of injury

36 Ischemia 時為何 T wave 會 inversion (I) 正常狀況下, 心室去極化是由 endocardium 到 epicardium, 再極化剛好相反, 由 epi 到 endocardium, 但再極化跟去極化電性相反, 所以心室去極化跟再極化的電氣方向 (polarity) 大致相同 ( 所以 QRS 方向跟 T 的方向大多相近 ) Ischemia 時, Na-K pump 失去活性 (reduced ATP production), 所以再極化的速度減慢, 或根本形成 partial depolarization status, 於是 ST segment and/or T wave 會有變化

37 Ischemia 時為何 T wave 會 inversion (II) Recovery is more delayed in the subepicardial layers, and the subendocardial muscle fibers seem to recover first----transmural 或是 subepicardial ischemia 時為何 T wave 會 inversion

40 Electrocardiography of Myocardial Ischemia

41 T wave changes associated with ischaemia

42 Tall T waves in leads V2 and V3 in patient with recent inferoposterior myocardial infarction, indicating posterior ischaemia Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. Channer, K. et al. BMJ 2002;324:

43 Tall T waves in myocardial ischaemia

44 Arrowhead T wave inversion in patient with unstable angina

45 Biphasic T waves in man aged 26 with unstable angina

46 ST changes with ischaemia showing normal wave form (A); flattening of ST segment (B), making T wave more obvious; horizontal (planar) ST segment depression (C); and downsloping ST segment depression (D)

47 Subtle ST segment change in patient with ischaemic chest pain: when no pain is present (top) and when in pain (bottom)

48 Substantial ST segment depression in patient with ischaemic chest pain

49 Widespread ST segment depression in patient with unstable angina

50 Non-ischaemic ST segment changes: in patient taking digoxin (top) and in patient with left ventricular hypertrophy (bottom)

51 Different Kinds of ST-T Changes

52 Normalisation of longstanding inverted T waves in patient with chest pain

53 Reversible ST segment changes in patient with chest pain; the ST segment elevation returns to normal as the chest pain settles

54 R on T, giving rise to ventricular fibrillation

55 Acute myocardial infarction with complete heart block

56 Electrocardiography of Myocardial Infarction

57 Acute injury pattern Abnormal ST levation in 2 or more adjacent leads (except lead avr) The term derived from an injury current flowing between an injred (i.e. depolarized ) tissue and a normally polarized tissue. Most common cause of injury current and the corresponding injury pattern Acute myocardial ischemia (During thrombotic, embolic, or spastic coronary occlusion

58 Transient injury current producing a similar ECG injury pattern may result from pressure exerted by pericardial fluid during acute pericarditis

59 Long lasting or permanent under various circumstances Myocardial dyskinesis or ventricular aneurysm Pressure exerted by fibrin or calcification during chronic pericarditis Pressure exerted by a cardiac tumor Variant pattern in a normal heart with excessive asynchrony of early repolarization

60 Pericarditis The presence of effusion Injury of the superficial myocardium by pressure of fluid or fibrin Superficial myocarditis

61 Action potentials in a model cardiac cell simulating Brugada syndrome and conduction disease.

64 Diagnostic Criteria of AMI by ECG 1. ST elevation > 1.0 mm 2 adjacent limb leads V4-V6 2. ST elevation > 2.0 mm V1-V3

65 One way to diagnose an acute MI is to look for elevation of the ST segment. ST Elevation

66 Elevation of the ST segment (greater than 1 small box) in 2 leads is consistent with a myocardial infarction. ST Elevation (cont)

67 Sequence of changes seen during evolution of myocardial infarction Morris, F. et al. BMJ 2002;324: Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.

68 Myocardial Infarction 1. Evolution * Hyperacute: Tall, peaked T- wave * Injury: ST elevation * Necrosis: Pathologic Q - wave (Q 0.04 sec and 25% R) * Ischemia: T inversion

69 Hyperacute T waves Morris, F. et al. BMJ 2002;324: Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.

70 Sometimes the QRS complex, the ST segment, and the T wave fuse to form a single monophasic deflection, called a giant R wave or tombstone Morris, F. et al. BMJ 2002;324: Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.

71 Pathological Q waves in inferior and anterior leads

72 Long standing ST segment elevation and T wave inversion associated with a previous anterior myocardial infarction (echocardiography showed a left ventricular aneurysm) Morris, F. et al. BMJ 2002;324: Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.

73 An inferolateral myocardial infarction with reciprocal changes in leads I, avl, V1, and V2 Morris, F. et al. BMJ 2002;324: Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.

74 Reciprocal changes: presence of widespread ST segment depression in the anterolateral leads strongly suggests that the subtle inferior ST segment elevation is due to acute infarction Morris, F. et al. BMJ 2002;324: Copyright 2002 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.

75 Coronary Vessels Anterior ---LAC RPM---

76 Coronary Vessels Posterior ---LAC RPM---

77 Left coronary artery Coronary Circulation 1. anterior interventricular artery supplies interventricular septum + anterior walls of ventricles 2. circumflex artery passes around left side of heart in coronary sulcus, supplies left atrium and posterior wall of left ventricle Right coronary artery 1. posterior interventricular artery supplies posterior walls of ventricles 2. marginal artery supplies lateral R atrium + ventricle Remember: a heart that doesn t work will- LAC RPM Cornory arteries- Left Anterior Interventricular, circumflex and Posterior Interventricular and marginal Right

78 Location Anatomical relationship of leads Inferior wall Leads II, III, and avf Anterior wall Leads V1 to V4 Lateral wall Leads I, avl, V5, and V6 Nonstandard leads Right ventricle Right sided chest leads V1R to V6R Posterior wall Leads V7 to V9

79 Views of the Heart Some leads get a good view of the: Lateral portion of the heart Anterior portion of the heart Inferior portion of the heart

80 Salient Features of Acute Myocardial Infarction 1. Indicative changes (Q, ST elevation) in leads 2. Reciprocal changes in leads 3. Progressive changes in pattern from day to day

81 Anterior View of the Heart The anterior portion of the heart is best viewed using leads V 1 - V 4.

82 Other MI Locations First, take a look again at this picture of the heart. Lateral portion of the heart Anterior portion of the heart Inferior portion of the heart

83 Other MI Locations Second, remember that the 12-leads of the ECG look at different portions of the heart. The limb and augmented leads see electrical activity moving inferiorly (II, III and avf), to the left (I, avl) and to the right (avr). Whereas, the precordial leads see electrical activity in the posterior to anterior direction. Limb Leads Augmented Leads Precordial Leads

84 Other MI Locations Now, using these 3 diagrams let s figure where to look for a lateral wall and inferior wall MI. Limb Leads Augmented Leads Precordial Leads

85 Anterior MI Remember the anterior portion of the heart is best viewed using leads V 1 - V 4. Limb Leads Augmented Leads Precordial Leads

86 Acute anteroseptal wall MI

87 Acute anterior wall MI

88 Acute anterior wall MI

89 Lateral MI So what leads do you think the lateral portion of the heart is best viewed? Leads I, avl, and V 5 - V 6 Limb Leads Augmented Leads Precordial Leads

90 Anterolateral MI This person s MI involves both the anterior wall (V 2 -V 4 ) and the lateral wall (V 5 -V 6, I, and avl)!

91 Inferior MI Now how about the inferior portion of the heart? Leads II, III and avf Limb Leads Augmented Leads Precordial Leads

92 Acute inferior wall MI

93 Acute inferior and septal wall MI
