Correlations among arrhythmia scores support internal consistency; leaves open validity and may not override Lambeth caution in ischaemia models.
Arrhythmia scoring systems are valid and potentially more sensitive than raw data analysis for quantifying arrhythmias in group data and model building.
Curtis et al. (1988) studied Regional myocardial ischaemia and arrhythmias. Seven arrhythmia scoring systems vs. Raw arrhythmia data was evaluated on Correlation with the incidence of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular premature beats. Seven arrhythmia scoring systems strongly correlated with the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in early myocardial ischaemia, providing a sensitive method for quantifying group data.
