Question Title: Angioplasty and 12 lead ECG changes

Forum: The Heart Forum
Topic: Angioplasty


Dear Dr.
I would appreciate any information on any texts you think may be relevant
to a research project I am currently undertaking.The project is being
performed at Green Lane Hospital and involves 4 cardiologists, myself
and one other cardiac technologist.The research involves one thousand
PTCA patients and specifically looks at ECG changes in the V4R lead when
dilating Mid-Distal RCA, and changes in V9 and V9M leads when dilating
Mid-Distal Circumflex.
Any information would be appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,
Craig M Smith
