Multi-lead arrhythmia monitoring

Arrhythmia means any disturbance or irregularity of the

cardiac rhythm. Stability of the cardiac rhythm is essential

for sufficient pumping function of the heart and adequate

cardiac output. Maintaining adequate cardiac output is vital

for organ perfusion and survival. Therefore, fast and accurate

detection of arrhythmia is critical.

Each ECG lead views the heart at a unique angle. Multi-lead

monitoring provides continuous viewing of the heart rhythm

from multiple sites. The more leads that are used, in general,

the more reliable the information is for arrhythmia analysis.

A multi-lead arrhythmia algorithm uses more than one ECG

lead for detection and analysis of cardiac arrhythmias. The

performance of a multi-lead algorithm, in general, may

exceed that of a single-lead algorithm. In noisy situations,

there might be noise present on some leads, while the signal

in other leads might be good enough for reliable detection

of cardiac rhythm. Sometimes ventricular beats can be

more obvious in some of the leads than in others where the

changes in morphology are minor. It is also possible that

QRS amplitude can be low in one lead and normal in others.

Therefore, the sensitivity of the algorithm may increase when

more than one lead is used.

The recognition of ventricular beats may be improved by

multi-lead monitoring, and the same applies to QRS detection.

The decision between normal and ventricular beats may be

more reliable when information from more than one lead is

available. The GE EK-Pro arrhythmia algorithm uses I, II, III,

and the V/VA lead for arrhythmia detection. The American

Heart Association (AHA) has recommended that two or

preferably three or more leads should be displayed and

monitored simultaneously. Exceeding the AHA’s minimum

recommendation, the distinctive GE EK-Pro algorithm utilizes

four simultaneous leads for analysis.
