Limitations of the smartphone based single ECG-lead evaluation of STEMI

Introduction: Potential applications for smartphone based electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis are currently being explored. Previous research has predominantly focused on the feasibility of smartphone based single ECG-lead rhythm evaluation. More recently, there has also been interest in the utility of smartphone based single ECG-lead measurements for the evaluation of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A recent study reported “excellent concordance” between “12-lead equivalent ECGs” that were recorded using smartphone technology and the standard 12-lead ECG.
