Signal averaged ECG was registered in 57 patients with chronic heart failure due to ischemic heart disease and either accelerating or stable class III effort angina. Analysis of parameters of spectral-temporal maps showed that high local activity in terminal portion of ventricular and atrial complexes reflected heterogeneity of depolarization of atrial and ventricular myocardium. These changes correlated with presence of atrial and ventricular late potentials and could be used as markers of electrical instability of the myocardium.
