AECG definition
Examples of AECG in a sentence
The prevalence of SMI as assessed by AECG in DM2 varies between 35-58% 62-64.
Further studies are needed to validate the prognostic value of SMI detected by AECG.
AECG monitoring can be performed with a three-channel recording system for a continuous period of 48 hours.
It has been postulated that periods of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI), which can be de- tected with Ambulatory ECG (AECG), precede a first coronary event.
When functional techniques are compared, AECG and exercise ECG are less sensitive and specific than functional cardiac imaging tests for the detection of ischemia in DM2.
Frequent episodes of transient ischemia detected by AECG have shown to be a marker for an increased coronary event rate in asymp- tomatic middle-aged men and in patients with known CAD 61.
The sensitivity of AECG for detecting CAD is poor, ranging from 19-62% 57-59.
Compared with coronary angiography, the specificity of AECG ranged from 54- 92% 57-60.
A study comparing exercise ECG with AECG for detection of SMI in DM2 reported that AECG identified ischemia only in diabetic patients with three-vessel disease whereas exercise ECG also revealed isch- emia in one- and two-vessel disease 66.
Through this agreement we now have clear expectations about building relationships with Aboriginal students, Aboriginal families and communities and the people of the NSW AECG.
