SATRO-ECG

SATRO-EKG - a computer program analysing electro-cardiology signals.

It facilitates the evaluation of electrical activity of myocardium, and therefore, early detection of ischemic changes in the heart.

The reference tests of the SATRO-ECG method in relation to perfusive scintigraphy SPECT conducted in Military Medical Institute in Warsaw and Medical University of Wroclaw proved the possibility to use this method to detect coronary heart disease (CHD).

A very high Sensitivity and specificity in detecting this disease were obtained.

[citation needed] Sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), predictive value of positive values results (PV(+)) and negative values results (PV(-)) are presented in the grid below:[citation needed] Comparison of SATRO-ECG results - SPECT (exercise) for particular parts of the cardiac muscle is presented in the grid below: [1] The results of the tests prove a high correlation the between SATRO-ECG results and SPECT in the case of detection of coronary heart disease (CHD) [1] An advantage of this method is a fast and precise analysis of the ECG results in the rest, which enables: [citation needed] The method is a diagnostic element of the Program of Universal Prevention and Therapy of Ischemic Heart Disease in the international project developed for United Nations Economic and Social Council [2].
