title: Two-channel ECG monitoring in the coronary care unit.
abstract: We describe the installation and clinical application of a two-channel monitoring system in the intensive coronary care unit using a single patient cable and two exchangeable ECG modules. Routine use of this system during a period of three years has shown that it has many advantages in the precise documentation and diagnosis of transient cardiac arrhythmias and for the recognition and localization of ischemic episodes.
