“…) and 70–90% of the cardiac ischaemic events detected with ECG are clinically silent (Jahrsdoerfer et al . ), continuous 12‐lead monitoring has been recommended to assist patients with ACS and for helping capture transient episodes of ST‐segment changes (Decker et al . ).…”

“…Based on the various research studies in which the RAQ was used, it has a high average specificity (80%-95%) and a variable sensitivity (19%-83%) in predicting ischemic cardiovascular conditions. [10] The original RAQ consists of seven questions, and even a single positive response to a particular question indicates the possibility of myocardial infarction. [11] The validity of RAQ results against the exercise electrocardiography for screening IHDs includes 80% of sensitivity and 31.1% specificity.…”

Introduction: Ischemic heart diseases (IHDs)are a leading cause of mortalities in Sri Lanka. Among a variety of risk factors, hypertension is a leading cause for IHDs; however, unequal distribution of proper diagnostic facilities complicates the early diagnosis of ischemic changes among adults in Sri Lanka. Therefore this study aimed at studying the possibility of using two basic diagnostic tools, including Rose angina questionnaire (RAQ) and 12 lead electrocardiogram (EGC), to estimate the potential ischemic heart changes among the hypertensive patients in a selected Sri Lankan adult population. Methods: A consecutive sample of 150 hypertensive individuals was recruited, and data were gathered through an interviewer-administered questionnaire, RAQ, blood pressure measurement, and ST-segment analysis of standard 12 -lead ECG recordings. Results and Discussion: The majority of the participants (n = 93, 62%) were females. The mean age was 61.5 ± 10.33 years, and their average systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 146 ± 23.27Hgmm and 85 ± 12.08 Hgmm. The association of ST-segment deviations that denote IHDs and the presence of stage I or II hypertension (n = 52, 42%) was statistically significant (p <0.05, df = 1). Based on positive responses to both RAQ and ST-segment deviations, the proportion of individuals with potential Ischemic Heart changes among the hypertensive individuals was 23% (34/150). Except these, 37/150 (25%) of hypertensive individuals, exhibited potential ischemic heart changes only in 12 lead ECG, but the responses to RAQ were negative. On the other hand, responses RAQ was positive among 32/150 (21%) individuals, though none of them exhibited any significant ST-segment changes in their 12 lead ECGs. Conclusion:Based on the utility of RAQ and 12 lead ECG, about a quarter of hypertensive individuals could be detected as having potential ischemic heart changes. Therefore it is suggested that RAQ can be incorporated along with 12 lead ECG into the routine clinical assessment to identify the risk of IHDs among Sri Lankan hypertensive individuals.

“…The use of continuous electrocardiographic monitoring (CEM) is one of the main ways to accomplish this vigilance for CCU nurses to make possible the early detection of possible alterations of the electrocardiographic parameters that determine life risk in critical patients (Carey, 2008; Wung & Kozik, 2008). CEM allows real-time monitoring of cardiac electrical conduction for ventricular arrhythmias, indicators of myocardial ischemia, and heart rhythm abnormalities that are pathognomonic for hemodynamic dysfunction (Akkerhuis et al, 2001; Drew et al, 2002; Drew et al, 1999; Jahrsdoerfer, Giuliano, & Stephens,2005; Nelwan, Kors, Meij, van Bemmel, & Simoons, 2004).…”

The purpose of the study was to compare the EASI system with the standard 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) for the accuracy in detecting the main electrocardiographic parameters (J point, PR, QT, and QRS) commonly monitored in patients with acute coronary syndromes or heart failure. In this observational comparative study, 253 patients who were consecutively admitted to the coronary care unit with acute coronary syndrome or heart failure were evaluated. In all patients, two complete 12-lead ECGs were acquired simultaneously. A total of 6,072 electrocardiographic leads were compared (3,036 standard and 3,036 EASI). No significant differences were found between the investigate parameters of the two measurement methods, either in patients with acute coronary syndrome or in those with heart failure. This study confirmed the accuracy of the EASI system in monitoring the main ECG parameters in patients admitted to the coronary care unit with acute coronary syndrome or heart failure.
