Abstract
Abstract Objective To determine whether ventricular late potentials (LP) identified by time-domain analysis (TDA) of the signal-averaged ECG could be identified by three-dimensional frequency-domain analysis (FDA). Animals 11 dogs (9 of which subsequently died suddenly) with ventricular tachyarrhythmias (10 with ventricular tachycardia) and abnormal TDA of the signal-averaged ECG. Procedure Signal-averaged ECG that were abnormal when analyzed in the time domain subsequently were processed further in the frequency domain. Correlation ratios were calculated, and spectro-temporal maps were plotted, which were then compared with control data. Results Three-dimensional FDA did not detect LP. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance LP may be detectable by TDA of the signal-averaged ECG and may be a specific marker for VT and sudden death in some dogs. However, FDA by use of the method applied in this study is invalid. (Am J Vet Res 1999;60: 396-401)
