Key result
Uncritical acceptance of complex medical data processing from ST-trending systems and Holter recordings has the potential to produce misleading results in the assessment of coronary ischaemia.
Highlights the risk of misleading results from uncritical acceptance of complex computer algorithms in ST-segment monitoring.
Analysis of the ST segment is an accepted part of the assessment of coronary ischaemia. Traditionally, such analysis has been applied to 12-lead surface electrocardiograms, but it is increasingly applied to 24-hour Holter recordings and bedside monitoring systems, using complex computer algorithms. There is a potential for results to be misleading as a consequence of uncritical acceptance of complex medical data processing.

Flisher et al. (1995) conducted a review in Coronary ischaemia. ST segment analysis using complex computer algorithms was evaluated. Uncritical acceptance of complex medical data processing from ST-trending systems and Holter recordings has the potential to produce misleading results in the assessment of coronary ischaemia.
