A method for praecordial surface mapping of the exercise electrocardiogram

K M Fox, A P Selwyn, J P Shillingford

    British Heart Journal
    |December 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces a novel electrocardiogram mapping technique to detect ST segment depression, a key indicator of ischaemic heart disease. The method effectively identified abnormalities in patients with coronary artery disease, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) is crucial for diagnosing ischaemic heart disease.
    • Assessing ST segment depression during exercise is vital for patient stratification.
    • Current methods may lack detailed spatial and temporal resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a praecordial surface mapping technique for the exercise electrocardiogram.
    • To assess the spatial distribution, time course, and severity of ST segment depression.
    • To determine the utility of this technique in diagnosing coronary artery disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a praecordial surface mapping technique for exercise ECG.
    • Studied 20 healthy volunteers and 20 patients with diagnosed coronary artery disease.

  • Recorded ECG changes, specifically ST segment depression, after standardized exercise protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Normal subjects showed no significant ST segment depression post-exercise.
    • All 20 patients with coronary artery disease exhibited ST segment depression.
    • Repeat testing in 5 patients showed consistent results, indicating test-retest reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • Praecordial surface mapping of the exercise ECG is a sensitive technique for detecting ST segment depression.
    • This method shows promise for diagnosing ischaemic heart disease.
    • The technique may be valuable for monitoring treatment efficacy in patients with coronary artery disease.
