7-19 Values for configuration, ECG measurement and
ECG interpretation
The corpuls
3
creates a therapy suggestion with the corpuls S therapy
algorithm which evaluates, among other items, ST deviations. If the ST
deviations are significant enough, implementation of the PCI protocol is
recommended.
Two limit values can be set for the sum of ST values measured during the
D-ECG. These limits are designated AMI and IMI and represent the degree of
sensitivity for deciding in favor of a therapy recommendation. The AMI limit
(in μV) applies in the event of an anterior infarction, the IMI value in the event of
an inferior infarction.
If the ECG interpretation by corpuls
3
detects a specific myocardial infarction
and if the sum of the specific ST values exceeds the pre-set limits for AMI or IMI,
the device suggests performing a PCI therapy.
The following values are recommended for AMI and IMI:
AMI: 800 μV
IMI: 600 μV
Alternatively to using the corpuls S algorithm, the corpuls
3
can also issue an
ERC-compliant therapy suggestion based on the „STEMI“-algorithm. This
therapy algorithm distinguishes between a STEMI-, NSTEMI- or regular ECG-
rhythm based on possible ST-deviations.
It is possible to set a limit value for the sum of measured ST-values of the D-
ECG. This limit value is called NSTEMI (in µV) and constitutes the degree of
sensitivity on which the decision for the respective therapy suggestion is based.
If the ECG interpretation software of the corpuls
3
diagnoses a specific
myocardial infarction and if the sum of specific ST-values exceeds the
configured NSTEMI limit value, the device suggests to contact a PCI centre.
Otherwise, the criteria for a STEMI or for a regular ECG-rhythm apply.
