Evaluation Of Experiments And Clinical Research On Diagnosing Coronary Heart Disease By Body Surface Potential Mapping

Coronary heart disease (CHD), a common ailment both at home and abroad, has become one of the major causes of death in many advanced industrial countries. Its early diagnosis and identification are one of the major measures for timely treatment and reduction of its death rate, and a problem demanding prompt solution as well. Coronary arteriography (CAG), being able to objectively show the position, extent and range of coronary stenosis, is the most reliable method for diagnosing CHD and thus the high fame of "golden standard". It has provided a significant basis for evaluation of various non-invasive diagnostic methods. Nevertheless, due to the limitations of equipment, professionals and expertise and the risk it might involve, it is difficult to popularize coronary arteriography. Therefore, it is an approach of research at present to discover and establish a CHD diagnostic method that is non-invasive, highly sensitive and specific.
