Serial ECG's of 775 patients followed from one month to 10 years after myocardial infarction were reviewed. A significant number, 6.7 per cent, showed disappearance of abnormal Q waves, and an additional 5.2 per cent showed only equivocal Q wave changes related to previous infarction. In those cases where the Q wave abnormality disappeared, the majority (69 per cent) regressed coincidentally with healing of the infarcted area; in only about one-eighth, left bundle branch block supervened to mask the electrocardiographic evidence of previous infarctions. Additional factors leading to regression of the Q-deflection were the development of intraventricular blocks other than bundle branch block (12 per cent) and the subsequent occurrence of myocardial infarction (8 per cent) obscuring the evidences of previous infarction. The majority of the ECG's which showed disappearance of significant Q-deflections did so within two years following infarction; none changed after six years. The disappearance of abnormal Q-deflections in the ECG was not associated with a better prognosis in these patients.
