Abstract
The detection of coronary heart disease leading to sudden death remains one of the greatest challenges in contemporary society. The advancements in new thrombolytic drugs offer significant potential far improved management of patients developing an acute myocardial infarction outside hospital. However, new diagnostic devices are now required to increase the sensitivity of detection beyond that achievable with the standard 12 lead ECG.
