ABSTRACT
In 50 patients (30F, 20M), aged 47 +/- 8 who underwent artificial heart valve implantation, the transient ST segment elevation (uST) of at least 0.1 mV on ECG immediately after electrical cardioversion (KE) of atrial fibrillation (MP) was evaluated. uST of 2 +/- 0.7 mV, lasting for 1.5 +/- 0.8 minutes was observed in 52% of cases (15F, 9M). Occurrence of uST correlated significantly with the following parameters enlarged left atrium, high values of energy delivered during KE, history of more than cardiosurgical operation. Inversely, uST did not depend on duration of MP, efficacy of KE, BMI and the time span between the operation and KE.
