Abstract
A portable cardiac mapping system is used to improve the accuracy of d iagnosis of acute ischaemic injury outside hospital. Patients presenti ng chest pain suggestive of myocardial infarction (MI) were mapped by attendant medical personnel operating from a mobile coronary unit. The se first MI maps were compared against average normal maps using QRS a nd ST-T isointegral values. Discriminant function analysis performed o n the parameters achieved a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 96 %.
