Prognostic importance of late potentials of ventricles and variability of cardiac rhythm in patients with ischemic cardiac disease

Abstract

The combined analysis of cardiac rhythm variability indices, signal-averaged electrocardiogram noting late potentials of ventricles is performed. As many as 158 patients with various forms of ischemic cardiac disease and 70 persons of the control group are examined. Signal-averaged electrocardiograms are registered in dynamics during 18 months, cardiac rhythm variability indices are determined, echocardiography is performed.
