BACKGROUND: Although T wave inversions due to cardiac memory were described already 50 years ago, little is known about the prevalence and about clinical predictors of this phenomenon.
METHODS: After exclusion of 238 patients due to bundle branch block or pacemaker dependency, a total of 325 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study during routine outpatient control of their pacemaker. A 12-lead standard ECG was obtained in all patients during transient inhibition of pacing therapy.
RESULTS: Cardiac memory could be documented in 115 of 325 patients (35%) and showed a strong association with the amount of ventricular stimulation. The prevalence of cardiac memory was 9% in patients with ≤25% ventricular stimulation and 86% in patients with ≥75% ventricular stimulation.
DISCUSSION: Cardiac memory was observed in one third of patients following pacemaker implantation. The prevalence of cardiac memory in the ECG with intrinsic rhythm is above 80% in patients with frequent ventricular stimulation. Cardiac memory due to ventricular stimulation is benign and should not be confused with similar T wave inversions due to acute coronary syndrome, severe left ventricular hypertrophy, or myocarditis.
