We attempted to differentiate between myocardial ischemia and left ventricular asynergy as the underlying mechanisms of exercise-induced ST-segment elevation in patients with previous myocardial infarction (MI). Sixty patients with previous anterior MI, who underwent stress myocardial scintigraphy (SMS) and coronary angiography (CAG), which revealed a single vessel disease of the left anterior descending artery, were entered in this study. SMS and CAG were performed within 3 months of MI onset, and SMS and ECG were quantitatively analyzed. T wave changes to a complete upright position with concomitant ST-segment elevation (T-dominant ST-elevation) was seen in 56% of the patients with post-MI angina pectoris (N = 16) and in 50% of those with significant redistribution in SMS (n = 20). On the other hand, ST-segment elevation without T wave reversion (ST-dominant ST-elevation) was seen in 43% of patients with severe LV asynergy (akinesis and dyskinesis, n = 39) and in 50% of those with severe scintigraphic defect in delayed images (relative thallium uptake less than or equal to 40%, n = 10). When these findings were combined, T-dominant ST-elevation had sensitivity and specificity of 54% and 78%, respectively, for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia, while the corresponding values for ST-dominant ST-elevation were 44% and 100%, for the diagnosis of severe ventricular asynergy. We conclude that the two underlying mechanisms, ischemia and asynergy, may produce different changes in ST-T shape in patients with previous myocardial infarction.
