Coronary Artery Patients
IDENTIFICATION : E-HOL-03-271-002
Study Population: These group of cardiac patients is from the Intercity Digital Electrocardiogram Alliance (IDEAL) database. These coronary artery disease patients (271 patients) had positive angiogram (at least one vessel narrowing >75%) and either exercise induced ischemia or evidence of previous myocardial infarction. These patients were in stable phase of ischemic heart disease since they were enrolled at least 2 month after their event. The Electrocardiograms were acquired using three pseudo-orthogonal lead configuration (X, Y and Z). There is a initial resting supine period for a 20 minutes duration before starting the ambulatory recording.
All patients are suppose to be in sinus rhythm. Only cardiac patients without evidence of congestive heart failure were included.
Eligibility criteria:
- The diagnosis of CAD should be confirmed by postive angiogram (at least one vessel with critical naroowing >75%) with: 1/ exercise induced ischemia on ECG or 2/ evidence of previous myocardial infarction.
- Patients should be in stable phase of the ischemic heart disease with digital ECG recordings performed on an outpatients basis. Stable post-MI patients should be enrolled at least 2 month after the index event.
- Only patients wihtout evidence of congential heart failure should be included. Patients with clicninal or echocardiographic evidence for congestive heart failure (LVD>60 mm, EF<40%) shoudl be excluded.
- Patients in sinus rhythm.
Exclusion criteria:
- patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (left ventricular diameter > 60mm and ejection fraction <40%),
- patient with unstable coronary patients (unstable angina requiring hoispitalization with evolving ischemic changes in standard ECG),
- patient with congestive heart failure (LVD>60mm, EF<40%),
- patients with coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in the past; the patients with a history of non-CABG coronary revascularization (PTCA, stent, atherectomy) is eligible to be enrolled;
- the patients is in non-sunis rhythm (atrial flutter/fibrillation, pacemaker rhtyhm, AV block, sick sinus syndrome),
- the aptients has major comorbidity such as malignancy, severe haptic , renal or cerebral disease, etc.
