Why the study?
Does body surface mapping improve the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction compared to 12 lead ECG criteria in patients with acute ischaemic-type chest pain and left bundle branch block?
Does body surface mapping improve the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction compared to 12 lead ECG criteria in patients with acute ischaemic-type chest pain and left bundle branch block?
Body surface mapping significantly improves the sensitivity of early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in patients with chest pain and left bundle branch block compared to standard 12-lead ECG criteria.
