Abstract
Poor left ventricular performance in ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is often a deterrent for surgical revascularization, unless reasonable myocardial viability can be demonstrated. Myocardial viability can be assessed by numerous methods [1–9]. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple tool that demonstrates the presence of old myocardial infarction (MI) by the presence of pathological Q waves. There is a paucity of data in the literature regarding the value of the ECG for assessing myocardial viability and predicting significant myocardial recovery after coronary revascularization [10].
