Enhancing Acute Coronary Ischemia Triage to Help Reduce Costs and Medical Errors
When a patient presents with chest pain, the more data available to physicians, the better. And when the diagnosis isn’t obvious, every piece of information becomes critical. A decision support predictive algorithm, ACI-TIPI, incorporated into GE Medical Systems diagnostic and monitoring equipment, seamlessly offers important additional cardiac triage information.
ACI-TIPI is a mathematical algorithm that predicts the probability of cardiac ischemia. Working in conjunction with Marquette’s 12SL interpretive ECG algorithm, ACI-TIPI considers the ECG measurements as well as the patient’s age, gender and chief complaint to establish a predictive number. This numerical “score” (from 0 to 100%) represents the probability that a particular patient has acute cardiac ischemia (including unstable angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction). The ACI-TIPI algorithm does not indicate specific treatment but serves as a diagnostic tool or “second opinion” to be used at the discretion of the physician.
