2.1.1 Indications and contraindications
Indications Resting ECG
→ Suspected cardiovascular system disorder (e.g. MI, CHD, cardiac
insufficiency, arterial hypertension, hypertrophy, myocarditis,
pericarditis)
→ Supervision and monitoring of patients with acute or chronic
cardiovascular disorders (e.g. MI, CHD, cardiac insufficiency, arterial
hypertension, hypertrophy, myocarditis, pericarditis)
→ To assess a preoperative risk
→ To assess a postoperative intervention
→ To assess and supervise medication therapy (in particular for
cardiologically active substances such as tricyclic antidepressants,
neuroleptics, etc.)
→ To assess structural heart problems with cardiac arrhythmia
(especially sinus tachycardia and sinus bradycardia)
→ Suspicion or monitoring of (cardiac) hypertrophy
→ To check for comorbidities (for example with chronic respiratory
disease)
→ As part of pacemaker therapy
→ For angina pectoris
→ For suspected or diagnosed arterial sclerosis
→ For suspected or diagnosed PAD (peripheral arterial disease)
→ For diagnosed renal arterial stenosis
→ To assess patients as part of a rehabilitation program
→ Acute coronary syndrome with no ST segment elevation (NSTE-
ACS)
Indications Stress ECG
→ For CHD diagnosis
