Why the study?
Early coronary occlusion detection by portable personal devices with limited ECG leads might shorten symptom-to-balloon time in acute coronary syndromes.
Does a 3-lead ECG system using vectorcardiographic analysis accurately detect coronary artery occlusion compared to standard 12-lead ECG in patients undergoing PCI?
Population
66 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Comparison

May support portable 3-lead ECG for earlier occlusion detection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Does a 3-lead ECG system using vectorcardiographic analysis accurately detect coronary artery occlusion compared to standard 12-lead ECG in patients undergoing PCI?
A 3-lead ECG system suitable for credit card-sized personal devices performs similarly to standard 12-lead ECG methods in detecting acute coronary occlusion when using baseline comparisons.
