        The skeletonized internal mammary artery (IMA) is longer, and its immediate spontaneous blood flow is greater than that of the pedicled IMA, thus providing increased versatility for complete, arterial myocardial revascularization without the use of saphenous vein grafts. From April 1996 to May 1997, 583 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting here and in 415 (71%) complete arterial revascularization was achieved using bilateral skeletonized IMA. The right gastroepiploic artery was used in 57 (13%); there were 329 males (79%) and 86 women (21%); average age was 64 (30-87) and 175 (36%) were older than 70; 131 (32%) were diabetics. Average number of grafts was 3.2 (range 2-6 grafts). At 30 days, 5 (1.2%) had died and there had been 6 perioperative infarcts (1.4%), 5 CVA's (1.2%), and 6 had sternal wound infections (1.4%). Up to 1-12 months of follow-up was achieved in 409 (99%). Late mortality was 1.4% (of which 3 were noncardiac). 394 (97%) were angina-free at latest follow-up. We conclude that arterial revascularization using bilateral skeletonized IMA is safe, as postoperative morbidity and mortality are low, even in old and diabetic patients.

        Circadian Fluctuations of the Signal-Averaged ECG

        Circadian periodicity for the time of onset of acute myocardial infarction has been shown; the early morning peak of infarction coincides with the onset of other related phenomena, including sudden cardiac death, ventricular arrhythmias, thrombotic stroke, etc. Late potentials detected by the signal-averaged ECG are considered to be independent markers of vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmias. The signal-averaged ECG enables the amplifying and recording of small bioelectric signals of cardiac origin, while eliminating extraneous electrical "noise." To determine whether late potentials are themselves subject to circadian influence, 31 patients (age range 41-79) who had had an old or recent myocardial infarction underwent late potential assessment by the signal-averaged ECG. 4 indices were studied: duration of late LPD potentials (LPD), total QRS duration (TQRS), and root mean square voltage of the last 40 msec, and of the last 50 msec (RMS 40 and RMS 50). These indices were assessed 3 times, during the early morning hours, at noon and during the evening. Morning LPD differed significantly from noon and evening LPD and the morning RMS 40 similarly differed from noon and evening values. TQRS and RMS 50, even though remaining in the normal range, also showed a tendency to abnormal values during morning hours. These findings could possibly be related to the early morning incidence peaks of severe ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, since abnormal late potentials constitute the physiopathological basis for certain ventricular arrhythmias.
