Evaluation of T-wave alternans in high-resolution ECG maps recorded during the stress test in patients after myocardial infarction.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionRecent studies point to analysis of T-wave alternans as a promising indicator of an increased risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. In this study the occurrence of T-wave alternans in the high-resolution ECGs recorded during the exercise stress test and scintigraphic tests (SPECT) in patients with ischemic heart disease was examined. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study group consisted of 33 patients after myocardial infarction. In the group of patients after myocardial infarction and with low left ventricular ejection fraction correlations of 70% between the test results of T-wave alternans and SPECT and 60% between the test results of T-wave alternans and stress test were found.
resultsIn the group of patients after myocardial infarction but with high left ventricular ejection fraction correlations were respectively 39% and 48%. The analysis of the electrocardiographic maps showed a strong dependence of this correlation on the T-wave alternans amplitude and location of the ECG measuring electrode on the chest. The results might suggest that in patients after myocardial infarction and at increased risk for sudden cardiac death T-wave alternans may also provide information about cardiac electrical instability associated with ischemia.
conclusionsIt can also be assumed that the position of the electrode where the highest level of the T-wave alternans was detected can indicate the location of the ischemic region of the heart.
