Abstract
To elucidate which clinical features produce U-wave inversion, 339 pat ients with severe narrowing of the left anterior descending artery wer e evaluated. In patients with anterior myocardial infarction, extensiv e coronary artery disease and protected left anterior descending arter ial territory are essential in the development of U-wave inversion, wh ereas electrocardiographic changes at rest in addition to anterior lea d ST depression, rather than coronary anatomy, are important in those without anterior myocardial infarction.
