Résumé
Early and longterm prognosis depended on the extents of acute myocardial infarction and residual myocardial function. Many clinical methods have been evaluated to determine their ability to estimate the size of myocardial infarcts. But because of many disadvantages simplified QRS scoring system, used with standard 12-lead EKG, was developed, which is noninvasive, inexpensive and easily releatible. Therefore, the correlation between QRS and peak CK,killip classification were evaluated in 55 patients with initial acute myocardial infarction at the Chung-Ang University, Yong-San and Pil-Dong Hospital during the period from January 1983 to December, 1986. The results were as follows : 1) The average QRS score of the anterior wall infarction is 7.1 and that of the inferior wall infarction is 4.5 and there is a statistical significance(p<0.01). 2) In the acute myocardial infarction, the correlation coefficeient between the QRS score and the killip classification is 0.66(p<0.05). 3) In the acute myocardial infarction, the average QRS score is 6.3 and the correlation coefficient between the leak CK and the QRS score is 0.52(p<0.05). 4) In the anterior wall infarction, the average QRS score is 7.1 and the correlation coefficient between the peak Ck and QRS score is 0.48(p<0.05). 5) In the inferior wall infarction, the average QRS score is a 4.5 and the correlation coefficient between the leak CK and QRS score is 0.79(p<0.05).
