Abstract:
With early detection and timely intervention, the effects of ischemia are reversible. Without intervention, ischemia causes myocardial injury, which is usually evidenced by ST elevation. Computerized ST segment analysis performed by the bedside monitor can assist clinicians in the early recognition of ischemia, allowing prompt intervention and timely evaluation of treatment effectiveness.
