    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Diagnostics
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Coronary heart disease (CHD) can lead to significant cardiac structural changes.
    • Electrocardiography (ECG) is a crucial tool for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
    • Ventricular aneurysms are serious complications of myocardial infarction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern in patients with coronary heart disease.
    • To investigate the association between this ECG pattern and ventricular aneurysm.
    • To explore the clinical significance and diagnostic value of the observed ECG findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings from 18 patients with coronary heart disease.
    • Detailed examination of ECG leads, including surface leads, apex lead, and orthogonal X lead.
    • Correlation of ECG findings with clinical data and necropsy results in a subset of patients.

    Main Results:

    • An rsR' pattern, or its variants (rSr', rSR'), was identified in the left surface leads.
    • This pattern was observed in 18 patients with coronary heart disease, 17 of whom had ventricular aneurysm.
    • Necropsy confirmed ventricular aneurysm secondary to extensive scarring in the anterior and antero-lateral left ventricle.

    Conclusions:

    • The rsR' pattern and its variants may serve as an indicator of ventricular aneurysm in coronary heart disease.
    • Understanding the genesis of this ECG pattern can aid in diagnosing cardiac complications.
    • The study suggests potential clinical value for this specific electrocardiographic finding in patient management.
