Does computer-based on-line analysis of the exercise ECG using the negative ST integral improve the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease?
Computerized analysis of exercise ECGs using the negative ST integral can effectively differentiate between normal individuals and those with angina pectoris, showing promise for improving ischemic heart disease diagnosis.
Sheffield et al. (1969) studied this question.
