Signal-averaged electrocardiography. Promising tool for predicting sudden cardiac death.
Signal-averaged electrocardiography has shown great promise as an adjunct in identifying patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. Clearly, much research remains to be done. Methods and criteria must be standardized so studies can be compared and the most effective ways in which to use this technology can be determined.
