  • Title: Detecting myocardial ischemia with continuous ST-segment monitoring: two case studies.
    Author: Sangkachand P, Cluff M, Funk M.
    Journal: Heart Lung; 2012 May; 41(3):284-9. PubMed ID: 22177760.
    Abstract:
    Continuous ST-segment ischemia monitoring is recommended for patients at significant risk for myocardial ischemia that, if sustained, may result in acute myocardial infarction or extension of a myocardial infarction. It is especially useful for patients who do not perceive or cannot communicate symptoms of ischemia. We report 2 case studies of young women with acute coronary syndrome who benefited from continuous ST-segment monitoring. One patient was critically ill and unresponsive, and one patient had atypical symptoms and some difficulty communicating clearly.
