Abstract
This study demonstrates the ability of an intracardiac (RV apex to left upper chest) lead to rapidly detect myocardial ischemia/injury during acute coronary occlusion in the setting of balloon angioplasty. The results of this study suggest that a simple implantable system resembling a ventricular pacemaker could be programmed to assist in the very early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
