Abstract

The first part of this review on the ventricular late potentials (VLP) presents the actual methods of diagnosis by: 1. Analysis in the time domain (ATD), currently used in most of the studies on the VLP. 2. Analysis in the frequency domain (AFD), in course of study, in which the author has a personal experience and has drawn criteria for the VLP diagnosis. 3. Beat-by-beat analysis, also in a stage of study. Irrespective of the analysis type, the criteria of positivity for VLP presence and the techniques of recording are analysed and commented according to the author's own experience. The interpretation of these techniques and their application in clinical practice shall make the object of the second part of this review.

[Electrocardiographic Q wave is of no significance after myocardial infarction].

A Q wave has high specificity in identifying acute myocardial infarction and is associated with infarcts of a larger size. A considerable number of studies have addressed the prognostic value of the presence of a Q wave in the electrocardiogram before and after the introduction of thrombolytic therapy. Overall, these studies have demonstrated that a Q wave has slight, or even no, prognostic impact, especially in studies performed since the introduction of thrombolytic therapy. Some therapeutic choices have been suggested according to the presence or absence of Q waves. These suggestions depend basically on subgroup analysis with different results and hence have not documented that a Q wave has any value in therapeutic choices. A pathological Q wave has no significant prognostic value after a myocardial infarction and there is very doubtful documentation that a Q wave has any value for therapeutic choice.
