A Trial for the Earlier Diagnosis of Inferior Wall STEMI Using a Six-lead Handheld EKG Recorder

A Trial for the Possibility of Earlier Diagnosis of Inferior Wall ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Using a Six-lead Handheld EKG Recorder (Kardiamobile 6L)

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the result from the a six-leads handheld electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder (KardiaMobile 6L) with those of the standard 12-leads ECG at the patients of acute inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), then ultimately reduce the time it takes to perform re-through treatment according to the faster diagnosis.

Participants with STEMI who visited the emergency room will be recorded 6-leads ECG using KardiaMobile 6L in addition to the standard 12-lads ECG, which is basically performed for all patients of acute coronary syndrome.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Among the patients over 19-year-old, patients of ST-elevation myocardial infarction who visit the emergency room and perform emergency coronary angiography or
• Among the patients over 19-year-old, patients who visit outpatient clinics and perform elective coronary angiography for evaluating chest pain

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with severe complications of myocardial infarction; cardiogenic shock, respiratory failure and mental change
• Patients who are unable to agree or disagree a written consent
