Many graphical methods for displaying ST-segment deviation in the ECG have been tried for enhancing decision-making in patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes. Computed electrocardiographic imaging (CEI), based on a mathematical inverse solution, has been recently applied to transform ST-J point measurements made in conventional 12-lead ECG into a display of epicardial potentials in bull's-eye format. The purpose of this study is to assess utility of CEI in the clinical setting. ⋯ Visual assessment of CEI is a promising method for increasing the accuracy of ECG-based triage to PCI or conservative care.
