QRS–ST–T triangulation with repolarization shortening as a precursor of sustained ventricular tachycardia during acute myocardial ischemia

QRS–ST–T triangulation with repolarization shortening as a precursor of sustained ventricular tachycardia during acute myocardial ischemia

We present segments from a 24-hour 12-lead digital Holter recording in a 48-year-old man demonstrating transient ST elevations in the inferior leads that triggered sustained ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) requiring cardioversion. The onset of VT was preceded by a gradual in...
