Abstract:
The body surface potential mapping of the heart during the period of ventricular depolarization and the inotropic function of the ventricles were studied in rats under conditions of a translational model of post-infarction chronic heart failure developed by us. We revealed a statistically significant (p<0.001) correlation between the left-ventricular ejection fraction and the values of the maximum positive and negative extrema of the cardioelectric field on the body surface of rats with post-infarction chronic heart failure caused by anterior transmural myocardial infarction. The calculated linear regression equations have high predictive efficiency, which makes it possible to use the amplitude characteristics of the heart cardioelectric field as a marker of the development of chronic heart failure.
