Electrocardiographic Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction in Pacemaker Patients

  • Chapter
What’s New in Electrocardiography

Abstract

The presence of a high-amplitude stimulus and abnormal ventricular depolarization originating in the right ventricle makes the electrocardiographic diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) difficult or even impossible in the pacemaker patient (PP).
