Comparison of techniques for examining long-term ECG recordings. 1980

I M Stein, and J Plunkett, and M Troy

The Holter superimposition method was compared with the Argus/H computer system and the Stein/Peterson frozen display technique in the analysis of 94 long-term ambulatory ECG recordings using technical staff experienced with each analysis procedure. The use of the Holter superimposition method resulted in a failure of detection of 33-66 percent of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias as compared to the two other computer-based playback systems. The Argus/H system and the frozen display method of Stein and Peterson were comparable with respect to ventricular arrhythmia detection, but the frozen display method was superior to the Argus/H system with respect to the detection of supraventricular arrhythmias.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008905	Minicomputers	Small computers that lack the speed, memory capacity, and instructional capability of the full-size computer but usually retain its programmable flexibility. They are larger, faster, and more flexible, powerful, and expensive than microcomputers.	Minicomputer

D004562	Electrocardiography	Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.	12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D005117	Cardiac Complexes, Premature	A group of cardiac arrhythmias in which the cardiac contractions are not initiated at the SINOATRIAL NODE. They include both atrial and ventricular premature beats, and are also known as extra or ectopic heartbeats. Their frequency is increased in heart diseases.

D001145	Arrhythmias, Cardiac	Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
