Why the study?
Does the location of local abnormalities on body surface isochrone maps reflect the site of myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease?

May support ischemia localization by body surface mapping in CAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does the location of local abnormalities on body surface isochrone maps reflect the site of myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease?
Body surface isochrone mapping of ventricular activation during exercise can localize the site of myocardial ischemia better than standard ST segment depression.
Igarashi et al. (1990) studied this question.
