Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of noise, T-wave jitter and electrocardiographic (ECG) signal parameters on sensitivity of T-wave alternans (TWA) detection methods. Since T-wave alternans often precedes sudden cardiac arrest, researchers have suggested that it could be used to decide which patients need implanted defibrillators (SN: 9/23/06, p. NASDAQ-CAMH), Bedford, Mass, has announced that clinical results, presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association demonstrate that Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA) testing can help determine which MADIT II type patients (prior myocardial infarction and left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% or less) should receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). |
