Summary

My doctoral dissertation will involve the comparison (sensitivity/specificity) of standard 12-lead with optimized lead set 24-hour Holter recordings obtained from N=1308 chest pain patients seen at UCSF emergency dept. The 8-channel optimized data is transformed to estimated 192-lead body surface potential maps (Lux xforms). To facilitate comparison of optimized 192-lead BSPM with standard, I propose we also transform 8-channel standard data in a manner similar to that performed on optimized lead set data, allowing comparison on same spatio-temporal scale. By use of subtraction maps(Map3D), and other metrics, be able to demonstrate the difference of the two methods in detecting ischemia (locating average ST potential distribution extrema)--ultimately to answer the question if optimized/estimated 192-lead BSPM is better that standard 12-lead for detecting myocardial ischemia?
