| Abstract | Background. The ECG is important for diagnosis and triage in the hyperacute phase of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially during the “golden hours”, when myocardial salvage possibilities are largest. An important triaging decision is whether or not a patient requires primary PCI, for which the guidelines mention ST elevation (STE) in the ECG as major criterion. This criterion has, however, a low sensitivity and specificity. Methods. We investigated the diagnostic possibilities of ischemia detection by means of changes in the ST vector, ΔST, and/or changes in the VG (QRST-integral) vector, ΔVG. We studied vectorcardiograms (VCGs) synthesized from the ECGs of 84 patients who underwent elective PTCA. Mean ± SD balloon occlusion times were 260 ± 76 s. ECG ischemia diagnosis (STE or non-STE (NSTE), and the differences ΔST and ΔVG with the baseline ECG were measured after 3 min. of occlusion. Results. Linear regression of ΔVG on ΔST yielded ΔVG = 324 · ΔST (r = 0.85; P <; 0.0001, ΔST in mV). With ΔST thresholds of 0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.100 m V and corresponding ΔVG thresholds of 8.1, 16.2, 24.3 or 32.4 m V·ms, respectively, we determined the sensitivity for ischemia detection, that varied from 55% for the STE criterion to 87 or even 99% for the one but most and the most sensitive ΔST and ΔVG criteria, respectively. Conclusion. Differential diagnosis by ΔST and ΔVG (requiring an earlier made non-ischemic baseline ECG) could dramatically improve ECG guided detection of patients who urgently require catheter intervention. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
