Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Data from previous studies are debatable regarding whether Holter monitors are a reliable electrocardiographic indicator of ischemia, for which the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the standard. Simultaneous 12-lead and Holter ECGs were performed on 30 patients with typical angina pectoris during coronary angiography or exercise testing. ST depression recorded by both methods was directly compared, using the 12-lead ECG as the reference. The Holter tapes were also scanned by two automated ST analysis programs and the results were compared to 12-lead ECGs. Only 66 of the 178 12-lead ECG ST depression events were also present on the Holter recordings (37.1% Holter sensitivity). ST depression was underestimated by the Holter recordings compared to the 12-lead ECGs (p < 0.0001). The majority (67.0%) of ST depression events identified by one computer program were false positive events. The degree of ST depression was overestimated compared to 12-lead ECGs by the second program (p = 0.0033). Holter-detected ST depression may not be a reliable ECG indicator of myocardial ischemia.
