The Clinical Significance of Continuous ECG (Ambulatory ECG or Holter) Monitoring of the ST-Segment to Evaluate Ischemia: A Review

Abstract

Silent ischemia is a common manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD). Continuous ECG (cECG) monitoring is an effective tool for assessing the frequency and duration of silent ischemic episodes for patients with CAD and for risk stratifying asymptomatic patients or those after an acute coronary syndrome by identifying those at increased risk for future cardiovascular events or death. cECG also allows monitoring of the effectiveness of therapy in patients with CAD. Treatment strategies targeted toward the elimination of silent ischemia have shown that revascularization was better than medical therapy in eliminating silent ischemia, but large scale, prospective studies targeting silent ischemia as a treatment endpoint are still lacking. Future research is warranted to study the effects of newer medical agents or the selected use of revascularization in those patients with persistent silent ischemia despite current medical regiments.

An On‐Skin Electrode with Anti‐Epidermal‐Surface‐Lipid Function Based on a Zwitterionic Polymer Brush

“…[ 10–13 ] In many occasions, the electrophysiological testing is required to be conducted for a long period of time ranging from hours to days to collect enough information. [ 14–17 ] Therefore, it is very important to develop on‐skin electrodes that can provide long‐term and home‐based recording of electrophysiology with high fidelity. The prevalent gelled electrodes show a significant drawback of signal degradation due to the drying out of the gel and the resultant increase in contact impedance.…”

Multi Agent Application for Chronic Patients: Monitoring and Detection of Remote Anomalous Situations

“…In addition, it would be beneficial to monitor certain measurements over a period of time. For example, over a period of one week, an electrocardiogram can collect information about the behavior of the heart during daily physical activity of the patient, which would otherwise not be reproduced in a clinical trial at the medical center [15]. In most cases, the tests are simple and with a little training from medical staff, patients could perform these tests on their own from their homes [7].…”
