Deviations of the RS-T Segment in Acute Subendocardial Injuries

Abstract
On isolated perfused canine hearts, studies were made of the electrocardiographic changes which attend injury to the endocardium of the free wall of the left ventricle and of changes which develop following extension of the injury onto the left ventricular aspect of the septal endocardium. In an epicardial lead, the depression of RS-T segment produced by a subendocardial injury of the free wall of the left ventricle disappeared almost completely when that same type of injury was extended onto the septum.
