dc.description.abstractThe predictive accuracy of electrocardiographic markers in identifying the infarct-related artery of myocardial infarctions has been a subject of extensive investigation. The present study was designed to test whether the index L II/L III ratio adapted to exercise electrocardiograms could be utilized as a marker to distinguish right coronary and left circumflex arteries as culprit coronaries in acute inferior myocardial infarctions. For this purpose, 82 patients with a positive-symptom-limited and/or submaximal treadmill exercise test with modified Bruce protocol after an acute inferior myocardial infarction were studied. Those patients with ST segment elevation during the stress test were included in the study. ST segment index was defined as the ratio of exercise-induced ST elevation amplitude in L II/L III. Patients were classified as having an index > 1 (n = 24) and < 1 (n = 58), and the findings were compared with the findings on coronary angiography. The groups were comparable with respect to age, gender, peak exercise level, and double products achieved. Circumflex artery was the infarct-related one in the majority (21/24; 88%) of patients with an index > 1, whereas most (51/58; 88%) patients with an index < 1 had the culprit lesion in their right coronary artery (p < 0.001). The ratio of exercise-induced ST elevations in leads L II and L III has a significantly high ability to discriminate the infarct-related coronary artery in patients with uncomplicated inferior myocardial infarction. Considering the prognostic importance of the type of coronary involvement, this index could be a part of predischarge evaluation in this patient group.en_US
