An introduction to 12-lead ST monitoring

Early detection of ischemia can help in the timely start of life-saving intervention. Persistent ST segment elevation is a sign of acute myocardial injury, and the more leads are involved, the more detail can be provided about the injury. This is why 12-lead ST monitoring is beneficial. This quick guide from GE Healthcare describes:

How the ST segment is analyzed
How the sophisticated algorithms in GE monitors enable effect ST monitoring
The tracking of ischemic changes in the QRST complex
The importance of localizing the ischemic area on the 12-lead ECG
The value of monitoring the duration and trending of ST levels
