Definitions
- the present invention relates to electrocardiography, and, more particularly, to a system and method for differentiating cardiac memory T- wave inversion from ischemic inversion.
- T-wave inversion has a wide range of etiologies, from a normal variant to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, and life-threatening myocardial ischemia.
- the majority of TWI falls in a category of "nonspecific ST-T-wave abnormalities" and accounts for 50% to 70% of abnormal tracings in general hospital populations. Interpretation of these ECGs is based primarily on correlation with available clinical data.
- Post-pacing precordial T-wave inversions known as cardiac memory, mimic anterior myocardial ischemia, and there are no established electrocardiographic criteria that adequately distinguish between the two. This phenomenon is well known to cardiologists. Cardiac memory is usually exhibited when a heart is paced for some period of time, and then the pacing is stopped. The cardiac memory effect usually depends on how long the heart was paced, and can last anywhere from a few hours to many weeks. Frequently, the T-wave following the pacing appears inverted. This is commonly referred to as T-wave inversion, or TWI. A similar TWI effect is frequently observed in ischemic patients. Specifically, post-pacing precordial T-wave inversion mimics anterior myocardial ischemia.
- Cardiac memory is one of the benign causes of precordial TWI. ECG patterns of cardiac memory are manifested upon resumption of a sinus rhythm after a period of abnormal ventricular activation, such as ventricular pacing, transient left bundle branch block, ventricular arrhythmias, or WPW (Wolff Parkinson White syndrome). The most common cause of cardiac memory is ventricular pacing. Because T-wave changes of cardiac memory may persist for long periods of time after the pacing is discontinued, their causal relationship is often obscured. Although the benign nature of cardiac memory TWI is well established, no reliable diagnostic mechanisms have been described to differentiate pacing-induced cardiac memory from T-wave inversions resulting from anterior wall ischemia and infarction.
- a method of differentiating between ischemic and cardiac memory inverted T-waves includes sensing an ECG of a patient, identifying inverted T- waves in at least one precordial lead, identifying non-inverted T-waves in at least two limb leads, diagnosing ischemia if the at least one precordial lead comprises inverted T-waves, and diagnosing cardiac memory if the at least one limb lead comprises non-inverted T-waves.
- One of the two limb leads can be lead I, and the other can be lead aVL.
- the method can further include identifying T-waves in lead III, confirming ischemic diagnosis if lead III shows deeper T-waves than maximal T wave inversion in the precordial lead, and confirming cardiac memory diagnosis otherwise.
- An alternative embodiment of a method for discriminating between ischemic and cardiac memory effects in a heart includes receiving electrocardiographic data, calculating, from the ECG data, a direction of a T-wave vector, diagnosing ischemia if the T-wave vector is between about +75 degrees and about +200 degrees (preferably between +90 and +180 degrees), and diagnosing cardiac memory if the T-wave vector is between about zero degrees and minus 90 degrees.
- the invention also includes a system for differentiating between ischemic and cardiac memory inverted T-waves including means for identifying inverted T-waves in at least one precordial lead, means for identifying T-waves in at least two limb leads, means for diagnosing ischemia if the at least one precordial lead comprises inverted T-waves, and means for diagnosing cardiac memory if the limb lead comprises non-inverted T-waves.
- the system can also optionally include means for identifying T-waves in lead III, means for confirming ischemic diagnosis if lead III shows deeper T-waves than maximal T wave inversion in the precordial lead, and means for confirming cardiac memory diagnosis otherwise.

- the reader is referred to, e.g., Dale Dubin, Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, 4 th ed., Cover Publishing Co., 1989, which is incorporated by reference herein, for a more complete discussion of lead placements.
- the three arteries in the heart are usually abbreviated as the LAD artery (left anterior descending), the circumflex artery (LCX), and the right coronary artery (RCA).

- cardiac memory definition post-pacing sinus rhythm T vector approaching direction of the paced QRS
- the cardiac memory group consisted of thirteen patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation who had sinus rhythm with 1:1 atrio ventricular (AV) conduction at physiologic heart rates. None of the patients had clinical, ECG or biochemical evidence of active ischemia. Cardiac memory was induced by one week of AV pacing with a short atrioventricular delay. The extent of the atrioventricular delay was adjusted individually to allow ventricular activation to proceed completely from the endocardial pacemaker electrode positioned in the right ventricular apex. At one week, a 12-lead ECG was recorded after the pacemaker was reprogrammed in AAI mode. This ECG was used for analysis.
- T-wave axis, polarity, and amplitude on a 12-lead ECG were compared between cardiac memory and ischemic patients.
- the cardiac memory group included eleven patients with no clinical signs of ischemia, and were sequentially paced for one week after permanent pacemaker implantation.
- the ischemic patient group consisted of 47 patients with precordial TWI undergoing LAD (left anterior descending) artery intervention for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Table 1 below shows the baseline patient data. Table 1. Distribution of TWI by infarct-related artery in ischemic group.
- Patients with preexisting ECG abnormalities were excluded, e.g., patients with secondary TWI, such as pre-existing left bundle branch block or LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) manifesting negative T-waves in leads I and aVL, atrial fibrillation and ST elevation infarcts. Patients with voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy were also excluded, unless upright precordial T-waves were documented on prior tracings.
- secondary TWI such as pre-existing left bundle branch block or LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) manifesting negative T-waves in leads I and aVL, atrial fibrillation and ST elevation infarcts.
- Patients with voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy were also excluded, unless upright precordial T-waves were documented on prior tracings.
- the ischemic patient group had ischemic precordial TWI due to unstable angina/non-Q wave myocardial infarction, identified retrospectively among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on one of the three major coronary arteries (LAD, LCX, RCA). If TWI was present on more than one ECG, the earliest ECG from index admission was used for analysis.
- PCI percutaneous coronary intervention
- Clinical data was obtained from electronic medical records. Left ventricular ejection fraction, determined as a part of routine clinical management by echocardiograpy, or contrast left ventriculography, was used for analysis if it was performed during the index admission (ischemic group) or within a year prior to the pacemaker implant (cardiac memory group).
- Endocardial pacemaker implants utilize the right ventricular apex, mid-septum, or outflow tract as sites for the ventricular electrode.
- the QRS complex produced by pacing from any of these sites usually has a left axis with varying degree of superior (right ventricle apex) or inferior (right ventricle outflow tract) angulation. Therefore, post-pacing TWI will always assume a left frontal axis, no matter where in the right ventricle the pacing lead is situated.
- T-wave morphology, polarity and amplitude in precordial leads were similar between the two patient groups.
- T- waves in both leads I and aVL were positive or isoelectric in 13/13 patients vs. 0/47 in ischemia (p ⁇ 0.001).
- inferior TWI in ischemic patients invariably demonstrated a TWI
- T-wave patterns in limb leads were consistent with left superior frontal plane T vector in cardiac memory and rightward in ischemic patients.
- CK (creatine kinase) levels were available in 27/28 LAD ischemic patients.
- CK MB tine kinase myocardial branch
- Ten patients had CK MB within the normal range ( ⁇ 10 ng/ml), seventeen patients (61%) had CK MB elevation ranging from 13 to 366 ng/ml (median 46 ng/ml).
- Twenty three patients (82%) had troponin I or T results available. Of those, 26 patients (93% of the LAD ischemic patients) had troponin elevation (range 0.2 to >50, median 4.2 ng/ml). All but one patient had results of either CK MB or troponin available.
- cardiac memory and ischemia that cause indistinguishable precordial TWI can nonetheless be differentiated on the basis of frontal plane T vector direction. Cardiac memory results in frontal T vector projection were opposite to those of anterior ischemia. A combination of positive T 3VL and non-inverted TT was present in all cardiac memory patients and in none of the ischemic patients, thus discriminating cardiac memory from ischemia. The presence of positive T-waves in leads I and aVL provides evidence against ischemic etiology of precordial TWI.
- FIG. 3A shows a representative ECG of an ischemic patient
- FIG. 3B shows a representative ECG of a cardiac memory patient.
- Both cardiac memory and ischemia traces demonstrate deep T-wave inversion in the precordial leads Vi-V ⁇ of similar magnitude and morphology.
- the cardiac memory patient demonstrates deep inferior T- wave inversion.
- a biphasic T-wave is also present in lead II in the ischemia tracing.
- An important difference between recordings is seen in leads I and aVL, in which ischemia shows T-wave inversions, whereas cardiac memory manifests positive T-waves.
- Electrocardiographic data is summarized in Table 3 below.
- the heart rate was faster in the cardiac memory group (p ⁇ 0.05) due to predominant atrial pacing in this group. Both QT and QTc intervals were not statistically different between groups.
- Table 3 Electrocardiographic Data
- T-wave amplitudes measured at the peak/nadir of T-wave in precordial leads were indistinguishable between CM and ISC-LAD groups (see FIG. 4, discussed below, p > 0.05 for all precordial leads V ⁇ -V 6 ).
- all the limb leads showed highly significant differences in T-wave amplitude as well as polarity between groups (see FIG.5, discussed below). The most dramatic difference was observed in lead aVL, where all cardiac memory patients had positive T-waves compared to only one ischemic patient (p ⁇ 0.01), whose T-wave in lead I was negative.
- cardiac memory produces positive T-waves in leads I and aVL.
- Ischemia gives the same result in the precordial leads (Vt- V 6 ), while it gives the opposite result in leads I and aVL. This is also due to the fact that ischemia typically affects the left ventricle, and not the right ventricle. Ischemia therefore gives negative T-waves in leads I and aVL. In other words, in a patient with cardiac memory-induced T-wave inversion, the ECG on leads I and aVL looks normal.
- FIGs. 4 and 5 illustrate the data distribution for two patient populations, the LAD ischemic patients and the cardiac memory patients.
- the open triangle symbols represent the cardiac memory patients, and the closed (dark) triangle symbols represent the ischemic patients.
- FIG. 4 shows T-wave amplitude in the precordial leads Vi-V ⁇ . No significant difference in amplitude is observed between groups. The T-wave negativity is particularly pronounced for leads V 2 -V 6 , with both groups exhibiting T-wave negativity.
- FIG. 5 shows T-wave amplitude in the limb leads.
- closed symbols are LAD ischemic patients
- open symbols are cardiac memory patients.
- the difference in amplitude between groups is statistically significant (p ⁇ 0.05 for all leads except aVR).
- leads I and aVL exhibit the greatest contrast in the T-waves between the two groups.
- the T-waves for the cardiac memory group are either flat or positive, while the T-waves for the ischemic group are typically negative, and generally less than +0.05 millivolts.
- ECG from lead HI may also be used to discriminate, although not to the same extent, but lead DI T waves are particularly useful for discriminating RCA ischemia TWI from cardiac memory.
- FIG. 6 is a polar histogram representing the information summarized in FIGs. 4 and 5.
- FIG. 6 shows a polar histogram of frontal plane T axes distribution. Filled bars are LAD ischemic patients, hatched bars are LCX ischemic patients, and open bars are cardiac memory patients. Each circular dashed line represents two patients.
- the histogram shows that a typical cardiac memory patient will show T-wave vectors generally in the approximately -90° direction. Ischemic patients, on the other hand, will show T-wave vectors generally between about +90° (probably from about as low as +75°) and about +180° (probably up to about +200°).
- the difference in T vector direction between groups is statistically significant (p ⁇ 0.01).
- T vector in cardiac memory group followed the direction of the paced QRS complex.
- RVA pacing produced QRS that was predominantly negative in precordial leads, negative in inferior leads and invariably positive in leads I and aVL.
- diffuse TWI in the precordial and inferior leads and positive T waves in leads I and aVL were characteristic for cardiac memory. This translated into left superior T vector axis opposite in direction to that of LAD, LCX and part of RCA groups.
- all cardiac memory patients demonstrated maximal precordial TWI > TWI m.
- Cardiac memory vs. LAD/LCX The most dramatic difference between groups was observed in lead aVL, where all cardiac memory patients had positive T waves compared to only one ischemia patient, whose T wave in lead I was negative. Positive T wave in lead I was observed in 11/13 cardiac memory patients; in the remaining two (both of whom had prior inferior wall MI) T-waves were isoelectric, and none had negative T waves. The combination of positive T wave in lead aVL and positive/isoelectric T in lead I (criterion I+aVL) was seen in all cardiac memory patients and none of LAD/LCX patients (see Table 4 below).
- Cardiac memory vs. RCA Four out of 7 RCA patients conformed to the pattern of LAD/LCX TWI and criterion I+aVL discriminated them from cardiac memory. The remaining 3 RCA patients with positive Ti and T 3VL had maximal precordial
- leads I and aVL for LAD and LCX ischemia, and to consider the most negative component of the T-wave. If lead I shows a positive T-wave, and lead aVL shows positive or flat T-wave, while the precordial leads V ⁇ -V 6 show inverted T-waves, then the patient most likely has cardiac memory-induced T-wave inversion.
- Positive here is selected, for example, to be represented as approximately 0.05 millivolts or greater. The signal is generally calibrated to 10 millimeters per millivolt on the ECG printout.
- One embodiment of the invention may be implemented using a standard diagnostic ECG, such as available from Burdick Space Lab or Marquette, modified to differentiate the two types of TWI according to the principles described above.
- a standard diagnostic ECG such as available from Burdick Space Lab or Marquette
- the discussion above is primarily in terms of using an external ECG (e.g., a standard 12-lead ECG)
- the invention is also applicable to implantable devices.
- implantable cardiac defibrillators usually have three implanted electrodes: a pacing electrodesin the right ventricle, a coil (defibrillator) electrodesin the superior vena cava, and the ICD "can" itself (usually located in the pectoral area under the skin).
- the implantable device can "reconstruct" the direction of the T-wave vector, and, based on the direction of the T-wave vector, as discussed above, discriminate between cardiac memory TWI and ischemic TWI.
- the implantable device can perform mathematical operations on the data from the leads that generally correspond to discriminating between the two types of TWI in the manner discussed above, without directly calculating the T-wave vector direction.
- ECG processing system 804 includes a programmed microcomputer 8040 equipped with an analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion board 8050.
- A/D analog-to-digital
- the steps of the method are performed using a software program written in, e.g., C programming language.
- the program follows the steps set forth above. It is believed that any skilled programmer would have no difficulty writing the code necessary to perform the steps of this invention.
- Microcomputer or computer platform 8040 includes a hardware unit 8041 which includes a central processing unit (CPU) 8042, a random access memory (RAM) 8043, and an input/output interface 8044.
- RAM 8043 is also called a main memory.
- Computer platform 8040 also typically includes an operating system 8045.
- a data storage device 8046 may be included. Storage device 8046 may include an optical disk or a magnetic tape drive or disk.
- Various peripheral components may be connected to computer platform 8040, such as a terminal 8047, a keyboard 8048, and a printer 8049.
- Analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 8050 is used to sample an ECG signal.
- A/D converter 8050 may also provide amplification of the ECG signal prior to sampling.
- FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate an exemplary method of the present invention in flow chart form.
- step 702 includes sensing an electrocardiogram from a patient. Alternatively, pre-recorded data may be analyzed.
- Step 704 includes identifying inverted T-waves in at least some of precordial leads.
- Step 706 includes identifying T-waves in leads I and aVL.
- Steps 708-710 include diagnosing anterior ischemia if leads I and aVL show inverted T-waves.
- Step 712 includes diagnosing possible cardiac memory if the leads I and aVL show non-inverted T-waves.
- Optional step 714 includes identifying T-waves in lead III.
- Steps 715 and 720 includes confirming cardiac memory diagnosis if the lead II shows inverted T-waves.
- Optional steps 722-724 include confirming ischemic diagnosis if the lead III shows deeper inverted T-waves than maximum amplitude of precordial TWI.
- Step 725 includes confirming cardiac memory otherwise.
- T-wave positivity in leads I and aVL is an active part of cardiac memory development, as an increase in T-wave amplitude is observed in the leads with a positive paced QRS complex (e.g., leads I and aVL).
- the pattern of T-wave inversion in the inferior leads can also be useful in determining the etiology of TWI. Combined ECG changes in anterior and inferior leads can be present with wrap-around LAD ischemia. However, in that case, the T-wave vector maintains a rightward direction, causing more T-wave negativity in lead II compared to lead III, which is the opposite of the cardiac memory pattern.
- Degree of ischemia is another potential factor contributing to the magnitude of T-wave changes.
- the majority of ischemic patients in the study had positive markers for myocardial injury, signifying severe ischemia. Conceivably, a lesser degree of ischemia could produce smaller T-wave changes.
- ischemic patients were divided into MB+ (myocardial branch (+)) and MB- (myocardial branch (-)) categories, no difference between the two groups was found in T-wave amplitude in the limb leads.
- marker-negative patients had deeper precordial TWI than positive ones (see Table 4 above).
- the frontal plane T vector direction can be helpful in distinguishing between ischemic and non-ischemic (but other than cardiac memory) precordial TWI.
- I mapping pattern inverted T-waves in the left upper quadrant with positive T-waves in the lower right quadrant
- N negative T-waves in left upper quadrant
- Anterior wall ischemia is generally regarded as the most dangerous form of ischemia.
- Anterior wall ischemia is generally associated with LAD (left anterior descending) artery stenosis.
- ischemia can result in different patterns of T-wave inversion.
- the present invention is particularly applicable to LAD ischemia, although it is also applicable, to other forms of ischemia.
- the frequency of TWI is less in the case of LCX ischemia.
- LCX ischemia is accompanied by T-wave inversion in the precordial leads.
- the invention includes the advantage of differentiating precordial ischemic TWI from post-pacing TWI, based on the opposite directions of the frontal plane T-wave vectors.
- ischemic TWI is characterized by a rightward frontal plane T-wave axis, whereas in cardiac memory patients, the direction of the T vector points leftward.
- a simple discriminating rule has been devised, using standard 12-lead ECG criteria, which is easily applicable in everyday clinical practice. All cardiac memory patients and only one ischemic patient had positive T-wave in lead aVL.
- the single ischemic patient with positive T-wave in lead aVL showed a negative T-wave in lead I, a pattern not observed in cardiac memory patients. Therefore, the combination of: 1) positive T-wave in lead aVL and 2) non-inverted (positive or isoelectric) T-wave in lead I completely discriminated cardiac memory patients from ischemic patients. Using the most negative point in the T-wave was usually a better discriminator than using the frontal T-wave axis, which had minimal overlap between groups. This occurs because calculation of T- wave axis is based on the total T-wave area (negative and positive components) in a given lead, which in the case of biphasic T-waves dilutes the effect of terminal T-wave negativity.
