May aid ECG detection in acute coronary occlusion; leaves open need for modern prospective validation.
Do chest leads improve the detection of electrical disturbances compared to conventional limb leads in acute coronary occlusion?
The addition of chest leads to conventional limb leads provides a more complete electrocardiographic assessment of acute coronary occlusion.
