Background: The accuracy of various ECG criteria the diagnosis of a previous myocardial infarction (MI) has never been validated.
Objectives: To determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of standard ECG criteria of a previous MI comparing to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: Consecutive patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease were studied. 12-lead ECG and cardiac MRI were performed on the same day. The cardiac MRI protocol included the assessment of myocardial function as well as the delayed-enhancement technique as a gold standard for diagnosis of MI. The following ECG criteria of a previous MI were tested for the diagnostic and prognostic value: Minnesota, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction, European Society of cardiology/American College of Cardiology 2000 (ESC/ACC 2000) and universal definition 2007.
Results: 1366 patients were studied. The average duration of follow-up was 31.4 ± 15.8 months. A myocardial scar was detected in 507 (37.1%) patients by DE-MRI. A previous MI detected by ECG criteria had a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 44-59%, 91-95% and 75-79% respectively, compared to DE-MRI. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that a myocardial scar by DE-MRI is the most powerful predictor for a cardiac event followed by LVEF. If the DE-MRI data was not available, then MI by ESC/ACC 2000 criteria was the most powerful predictor.
Conclusion: Various ECG criteria had a limited sensitivity but high specificity for the diagnosis of a previous MI. A myocardial scar, LVEF and MI by ESC/ACC criteria were important predictors for cardiac events.
