Popis: Background: When a severe heart attack called a ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not treated, heart muscle is killed per minute. Hence, early detection and treatment are essential for patient survival. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the accuracy for detection of (a) the ST elevation myocardial infarction of smartphone 12 lead ECG system in comparison to 12 lead gold standard hospital ECG machine; and (b) classification of STEMI in smartphone ECG and hospital ECG. Methods: This prospective, cross sectional study, non-randomised, single blinded and single-center study was carried out at Shri Mahant Indresh Hospital (SMIH), Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India from 30 May 2022 to 17 January 2023. All patients (n=154) with chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitation under the observations before and after the Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) like Coronary angioplasty, bypass surgery were enrolled from Critical care unit (CCU) and intensive critical care unit (ICCU). Results: Mean age (SD) was 53.90±11.7 years. The male gender (83.12%) shows the maximum frequency than female gender. True positive cases derived from confusion matrix for 12 lead standard ECG and smartphone ECG in comparison to cardiologist diagnosis was 113 as compared to 129 from 12 lead Gold standard. Sensitivity of smartphone Spandan ECG (87.5%) was comparable to gold standard 12 lead ECG (98.4%). And, specificity and PPV of smartphone Spandan ECG was recorded to be better than gold standard 12 Lead ECG. STEMI was detected correctly in 132 (86.3%) cases and 141 (80.85%) cases by smartphone ECG and 12 lead Gold standard, respectively. Conclusions: Spandan ECG device scored a high accuracy and sensitivity. The overall accuracy of smartphone ECG in detecting the STEMI increased by 5.45%, i.e. the significance rise in accuracy of computer interpretation when compared to the cardiologists’ diagnosis.
