Journal ArticleDOI
Universal definition of myocardial infarction
TL;DR: The past history, and likely future of this important topic has been/will remain more “evolution” than “big-bang”, and the current redefinition was flawed at inception owing to a fundamental problem with the troponin assays available at that time.

TL;DR: Information on myocardial infarction attack rates can provide useful data regarding the burden of coronary artery disease within and across populations, especially if standardized data are collected in a manner that demonstrates the distinction between incident and recurrent events.

A point-score system for the ECG diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy
TL;DR: A point-score system is presented for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy from the ECG and is significantly more sensitive in the presence of combined hypertension and coronary artery disease than in either alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
ECG data compression techniques-a unified approach
TL;DR: The theoretical bases behind the direct ECG data compression schemes are presented and classified into three categories: tolerance-comparison compression, DPCM, and entropy coding methods and a framework for evaluation and comparison of ECG compression schemes is presented.
