Abstract
The measurement of precordial ST segment elevation after myocardial infarction is of value in assessing the natural history of ischemic injury and the effectiveness of intervention. Hand analysis is time consuming and inaccurate. A technique for continuous recording from 35 precordial leads and subsequent computer analysis is presented, together with illustrative human case studies. Changes in body posture and in heart rate are of importance in subsequent data interpretation.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
