title: Wireless remote monitoring of myocardial ischemia using reconstructed 12-lead ECGs.
abstract: CardioBip (CB) is a hand-held patient-activated device for recording and wireless transmission of reconstructed 12-lead ECG (12CB) based on patient specific matrices. It has 5 contact points: 3 precordial and 2 on the device top serving as limb leads when touched by index fingers. To determine whether CB could be used to monitor coronary disease (CAD) patients, we compared 12CB to simultaneous 12-lead ECGs (12L) in patients with CAD, pre-and post-exercise treadmill testing (ETT). The study goals were to assess: (1) whether 12CB can accurately reconstruct and wirelessly transmit 12-lead ECGs in CAD patients during ETT recovery; (2) whether 12CB can be used to evaluate ST segment changes in patients with exercise-induced ischemia.
