May identify MI missed by ECG; leaves open whether vectorcardiography improves diagnosis or warrants adoption in suspected cases.
Does vectorcardiogram improve the detection of myocardial infarction compared to standard electrocardiogram in patients with suspected myocardial infarction?
Vectorcardiography may provide a more accurate diagnosis of myocardial infarction than standard electrocardiography, particularly when routine ECG leaves doubt.
Hugenholtz et al. (1961) studied this question.
