ECG Vectorial Theory of Myocardial Infarction

ECG of Right Ventricular Infarction, Isolated

• Confirmation of the first diagnosis of Right Ventricular Infarction:Letter by Myron Prinzmetal from July 22, 1958

• An authority in Electrocardiography agrees that Vectorial Theory is more flexible than the Cavity Potential Theory of Q waves to explain the ECG of Right Ventricular Infarction: Letter by Ary L. Goldberger from November 27, 1981

Electrocardiographic Patterns Under the Vectorial Theory

(New Classification)

1. Eletrocardiographic Patterns of Isolated Right Ventricular Infarction (Type 2 from our Classification), in Disagreement with the Cavity Potential Theory in use but Compatible with the Vectorial Theory
2. Electrocardiographic Patterns of Isolated Left Ventricular Infarction (Type 1 from our Classification), also compatible with the Vectorial Theory
3. Electrocardiographic Patterns of Left and Right Ventricular Infarction, Associated (Type 3 from our Classification), based in the Vectorial Theory
