Novel ECG-VCG fusion may enhance MI detection in case-control data; hypothesis-generating and leaves clinical adoption open pending prospective trials.
Arini et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Myocardial Infarction (n=147). ECG-VCG combination technique vs. Healthy reference subjects was evaluated on Classification of MI and healthy subjects (Sensitivity 95.8%, Specificity 94.2%, Accuracy 95.2%, p=<0.05). A novel ECG-VCG combination technique classified myocardial infarction patients versus healthy subjects with 95.8% sensitivity, 94.2% specificity, and 95.2% accuracy.
