Why the study?
Can a single bipolar lead substitute for a true V5 lead in detecting peri-operative myocardial ischaemia using computerised ST segment analysis in patients with ischaemic heart disease?
Population
n=15 patients with ischaemic heart disease undergoing non-cardiac surgery

Small cohort detected ischaemia equivalently across leads; hypothesis-generating for bipolar substitution of V5 and should not yet change practice.
Can a single bipolar lead substitute for a true V5 lead in detecting peri-operative myocardial ischaemia using computerised ST segment analysis in patients with ischaemic heart disease?
A single bipolar lead may be substituted for a true V5 lead when monitoring patients at increased risk of developing peri-operative myocardial ischaemia.
Griffin et al. (1987) studied this question.
