Compare
ST80i is able to compare the current averages with reference ECG (resting, supine,
hyperventilation averages) and worst case for all 12 leads.
As the heart rate increases and/or morphological changes occur, the Compare function is used
to view the QRS morphology between a reference zoomed lead and a current event such as
Chest Pain or Hyperventilation to compare the delta between the two.
When the zoomed lead is displayed, the averaged ECG is superimposed on the reference ECG.
The white line represents current data; the reference data is blue.
To use the Compare icon
