Electrocardiographic pattern of injury ST-segment abnormalities

We will firstly refer to cases with normal QRS complex and later on we will briefly comment on how the presence of an ECG pattern of injury may be suspected in patients with wide QRS. 

Many aspects of the mechanism of ischaemia-induced ST-segment changes lack solid biophysical underpinning, although it has been recently demonstrated (Hopenfeld, Stinstra and Macleod, 2004) that the electrocardiologic response to 

In human beings, the electrocardiographic injury pattern is seen in the presence of evident and persistent clinical ischaemia. When we extrapolate the findings in the experimental field to clinical practice, it could be considered that when the ischaemia is important, persistent and predominant in a certain area (subendocardium or subepi-cardium), an evident diastolic depolarisation in that area generates a low-quality TAP (slower 

One question that needs to be understood is why during exercise testing an increase in the height 

There is a reasonable correlation between the injured subendocardium area and the leads show-
