Italian term or phrase: evoluzione ECG di tipo q
This is from a hospital discharge report of a patient admitted for an STEMI.

"Il decorso e' stato caratterizzato da lenta lisi del sintomo, *evoluzione ECG di tipo q* con persistenza di onda lesionale, picco CK MB 150 ng/ml ... etc."

How do we translate this "evoluzione ECG di tipo q"? I'm guessing it's something about Q-wave progression, but I really don't know what it means.

Thanks again for your help!

Q-wave evolution of the EKG
Explanation:
Some patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting without significant ST segment elevation develop a Q-wave infarction which may be referred to as "Q-wave evolution".

Some patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting without significant ST segment elevation develop a Q-wave infarction which may be referred to as "Q-wave evolution".

Example sentence(s):
  • we assessed the frequency, the electrocardiographic predictors and the short-term implications of a Q-wave evolution.

Reference: Evolution of myocardial infarction

Reference information:
There is no Q-wave present in the very early stages of MI, which are characterized by ST-segment changes. Q-waves only start to evolve after the acute phase. They are a sign of myocardial necrosis and scarring rather than hypoxia, and they only develop if the infarction involves full thickness of myocardium (transmural infarction).

The "tipo Q" ECG is the subacute/chronic presentation of transmural myocardial infarction. The "tipo ST" ECG is the presentation of non-transmural MIs.
