Noise reduction of ECG by averaging. An experimental study of the procedure and a validated method.

TLDR
Time-coherent averaging has been implemented on a computer with 12,000 12-bit words of core memory, suitable for on-line use in any clinical laboratory and tested for its efficiency in eliminating ectopic beats from the average.
Abstract
Electrical noise often hampers the interpretation of ECG and other heart-synchronous signals. Time-coherent averaging is a commonly used method to reduce the noise. This method has been implemented on a computer with 12,000 12-bit words of core memory, suitable for on-line use in any clinical laboratory. An analysis was made of which demands apply to the exactness of synchronization of added heart cycles. The method was tested with respect to these demands and also, on a limited scale, for its efficiency in eliminating ectopic beats from the average.

On-line Analysis of the Exercise Electrocardiogram

TL;DR: Use of a computer program as an investigative instrument in its own right, rather than as a means of duplicating classical human measurements, shows promise for improving the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease.

Uses and limitations of stress testing in the evaluation of ischemic heart disease

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in patients with typical angina pectoris or with chest pain which clearly does not resemble anginapectoris, stress testing appears to be superfluous since it provides little additional information beyond that which may be obtained from the patient's history.
