Transcoronary electrophysiological parameters in patients undergoing elective and acute coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Percutaneous coronary intervention is performed routinely in the management of myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary disease, but intervention to arteries supplying nonviable myocardium may be harmful. It is important therefore to establish myocardial viability, and there is an unmet need in current clinical practice for real time viability assessment to aid in decision making. Transcoronary pacing to assess myocardial electrophysiological parameters may be a novel viability assessment technique which could be used in this regard.

Methods

Coronary intervention was carried out according to standard departmental procedure with standard equipment. An exchange length coronary guidewire was passed into both target and reference coronary vessels and an over-
