Serial Prognostic Capabilities of Electrocardiographic Indices of Infarcted and Hibernating Myocardium in Predicting Short- and Long-Term-Outcome following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Abstract: The present study was performed to test the hypothesis that patients with a large amount of ischemic (hibernating) myocardium are most likely to develop a perioperative myocardial infarction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Furthermore, we evaluated the Selvester QRS scoring system as a postoperative prognostic tool. A relationship between a high amount of hibernating myocardium determined by ventriculographic and electrocardiographic investigations and an increased risk of perioperative myoc… Show more

“…These findings may be associated with a stunned or hibernating myocardium, as previously suggested under ischemic conditions, which may persist for a few weeks to several years [16,17,18]. Accordingly, with the persistently reduced LV function, it would not be surprising if a prolonged QRS duration were able to predict poor prognosis and cardiac events.…”
