Usefulness of Continuous 24-hour Ventricular Late Potential to Predict Prognosis in Patients with Heart Failure.
Detection of ventricular late potentials in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy provides a practical and cost effective method to identify the possible electrophysiological substrate underlying the life threatening ventricular arrhythmias which may result in sudden cardiac death9.
CardioScan premium luxury software was used for analysis of
ventricular late potentials.
A prospective study to determine the significance of
ventricular late potentials in children with mitral valvar prolapse.
The effect of statin therapy on
ventricular late potentials in acute myocardial infarction.
Diagnostiv value of electrocardiographic variables to predict the presence of
ventricular late potentials. J Am Coll Card 1990; 15:152-8.
Ventricular late potentials appear to arise from the areas of structurally abnormal myocardium in which ventricular activation is delayed and asynchronous.
Arrhythmic evaluation by 24 h Holter ECG, measurement of
ventricular late potentials and heart rate variability have been suggested for risk stratification and programmed ventricular electrophysiological stimulation has a relatively high predictive value for spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias in selected groups of patients with myocarditis (12).
Lew, Thomas Peter and their colleagues at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles investigated the association using an increasingly popular kind of electrocardiogram machine capable of measuring "
ventricular late potentials." Late potentials are abnormal bioelectric bursts that have been associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden death.
It is used for detecting
ventricular late potentials (VLP).
Objective: To determine association of
ventricular late potentials with mitral valve regurgitation in patients with mitral valve prolapse.
Objectives: To determine frequency of
ventricular late potentials in healthy individuals and in patients with mitral valve prolapse and to identify patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse at high risk of sudden death based upon
ventricular late potentials.
