Download or read book Optimal ECG Electrode Sites and Criteria for Detection of Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease at Rest and with Exercise written by Ronald H. Selvester and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depending on age, sudden death s the first symptom in 15-30% of all new coronary events in persons with previously unsuspected coronary disease. The prevalence of unrecognized but severe coronary artery disease in an apparently healthy population age 35-55 is conservatively estimated at 1000 to 2000 per 10,000. The annual incidence of new documented first infarct in this age group ranges from 50-100 per 10,000. The incidence of sudden death without prior suspicion of heart disease ranges from 20-50 per 10,000, and 35-50% of these subjects at autopsy will have prior (clinically unrecognized) healed myocardial infarction. Based on the fundamental work done in evaluating asymptomatic aircrewmen by a number of workers at USAFSAM, it seems prudent to assume these statistics also apply to the pilot population. It follows from these statistics that sudden death in pilots at the controls of high-performance aircraft can be expected at the rate or at least 1 per year for every 10,000 pilots over age 35 who fly on the average of 300 hours per year. By using published figures for the costs of such high-performance aircraft, the annual cost to be published figures for the cost of such high-performance aircraft, the annual to the Air Force for lost aircraft from this cause alone is considered to be in the millions of dollars. Keywords: Electrocardiography, Computer forward model, Heart model, Body surface map, Exercise tolerance test, Myocardial iscnemia.
Download or read book Optimal ECG Electrode Sites and Criteria for Detection of Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease Update 1990 Multilead ECG Changes at Rest with Exercise and with Coronary Angioplasty written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents recent findings from the Selvester-Solomon forward model of the electrophysiology of the human heart simulating infarct and ischemia. This led to a study of a 16-lead ECG at the time of coronary angioplasty. Both the simulations and the angioplasty study (reported in detail in this report) provide evidence that routine screening of apparently healthy aircrews with Hi-Fi rest and exercise 30 lead ECGs will significantly improve the detection of asymptomatic coronary disease. Three ECG recording systems with signal processing of 30 simultaneous leads (30SL) have been developed. These systems record and store on disk up to 2 hr of continuous 3 lead rhythm strips and 10 s epochs of 30SL median beats sampled at 1 ms. Design documents, flow diagrams, schematics, and safety documentation for the 3 ECG mapping systems, and for 3 electrode locator systems designed and fabricated on this contract, are provided. The design of the study at Long Beach Memorial and Armstrong Laboratory is also presented for the follow-on 1 year's contract using 30SL data during exercise (and angioplasty) to define the optimal number of leads and criteria in them for the optimal detection of asymptomatic coronary disease in aircrew persons.
