Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
HFQRS analysis using standard 500 Hz commercial electrocardiographs significantly improves the sensitivity of detecting stress-induced ischemia compared to conventional ST-segment analysis without compromising specificity.
High frequency QRS (HFQRS) analysis was shown to be more accurate than ST changes in detecting stress induced ischemia in designed clinical studies. Since it utilizes energy extracted from the frequency band of 150-250 Hz, HFQRS analysis is performed with high end electrocardiographs which are equipped with adequate hardware. In this study, we aim to examine whether it is possible to perform the HFQRS analysis using ECG data acquired by a 500 Hz commercial electrocardiograph and also to assess the clinical performance of such analysis.

Omer et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Stress-induced ischemia (n=86). High Frequency QRS (HFQRS) analysis vs. Computerized ST-segment analysis was evaluated on Sensitivity for detecting stress-induced ischemia (p=<0.005). High frequency QRS analysis using standard 500 Hz electrocardiographs demonstrated a significantly higher sensitivity of 86% compared to 41% for conventional ST analysis in detecting stress-induced ischemia.
