Official Description

Computerized database analysis of multiple cycles of digitized cardiac electrical data from two or more ECG leads, including transmission to a remote center, application of multiple nonlinear mathematical transformations, with coronary artery obstruction severity assessment

© Copyright 2025 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Common Language Description

Computerized database analysis of multiple cycles of digitized cardiac electrical data involves a sophisticated evaluation of the heart's electrical activity through the use of two or more electrocardiogram (ECG) leads. This procedure is specifically designed to assess the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Initially, an ECG tracing is obtained, which captures the heart's electrical signals. This analog tracing is then processed using advanced computerized hardware and software, which amplifies and digitizes the data for further analysis. The digitized information is transmitted to a remote center, where it undergoes multiple nonlinear mathematical transformations. These transformations are crucial as they allow for a detailed examination of the ECG patterns. The transformed data is then compared against a comprehensive reference database, enabling the generation of a severity score. This score reflects the likelihood of clinically significant CAD, providing valuable insights for healthcare providers. Ultimately, the results of this analysis are transmitted back to the physician or other qualified healthcare provider, facilitating informed decision-making regarding patient care.

1. Indications

The computerized database analysis of digitized cardiac electrical data is indicated for the evaluation of patients who may be experiencing symptoms or conditions related to coronary artery disease (CAD). This procedure is particularly useful in the following scenarios:

  • Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease Severity This procedure is performed to determine the severity of coronary artery obstruction, which can help in diagnosing CAD.
  • Evaluation of Cardiac Symptoms Patients presenting with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue may undergo this analysis to assess potential underlying cardiac issues.
  • Monitoring of Known CAD Individuals with a history of coronary artery disease may require this analysis to monitor the progression of their condition and the effectiveness of ongoing treatment.

2. Procedure

The procedure for computerized database analysis of cardiac electrical data involves several key steps that ensure accurate assessment of coronary artery disease severity:

  • Step 1: ECG Lead Placement The procedure begins with the placement of two or more ECG leads on the patient's body. These leads are strategically positioned to capture the electrical activity of the heart from different angles, providing a comprehensive view of cardiac function.
  • Step 2: ECG Tracing Acquisition Once the leads are in place, an ECG tracing is obtained. This tracing reflects the heart's electrical signals over time, which is essential for subsequent analysis.
  • Step 3: Data Digitization The analog ECG tracing is then processed using computerized hardware and software. This step involves amplifying the signals and converting them into a digital format, which allows for more precise analysis.
  • Step 4: Data Transmission After digitization, the ECG data is transmitted to a central server. This remote transmission is crucial for accessing advanced analytical tools and databases.
  • Step 5: Mathematical Transformations Upon receipt of the data, multiple nonlinear mathematical transformations are applied. These transformations enhance the analysis by identifying complex patterns within the ECG data that may indicate the presence of coronary artery disease.
  • Step 6: Severity Score Generation The transformed ECG patterns are then compared to a large reference database. This comparison allows for the generation of a severity score, which indicates the likelihood of clinically significant coronary artery disease.
  • Step 7: Results Transmission Finally, the results, including the severity score and any relevant findings, are transmitted back to the physician or other qualified healthcare provider for review and further action.

3. Post-Procedure

Post-procedure care for patients undergoing computerized database analysis of cardiac electrical data typically involves monitoring for any immediate reactions to the procedure, although it is generally non-invasive and well-tolerated. Patients may be advised to follow up with their healthcare provider to discuss the results of the analysis, including the severity score and any recommended next steps based on the findings. It is important for healthcare providers to interpret the results in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture, including any symptoms and medical history, to determine the appropriate course of action.
