The Schiller Thrombolysis Software (Schiller STP) is a software program designed to aid the physician’s decision making. The Schiller STP provides an additional toolto assist with the diagnosis of acute cardiac ischemia, including unstable anginapectoris and acute myocardial infarction.

In order to calculate the predicted probabilityof acute cardiac ischemia, it is necessary to examine three ECG features from the computerized ECG analysis:

• Presence or absence of abnormal Q-waves

• Presence and degree of ST segment elevation or depression

• Presence and degree of T-wave elevation or inversion

 

To prompt the report generation, one must only enter three variables in the patient ID field:age, gender and medication. The Schiller STP software package enhances the computer-assisted ECG analysis capabilities as a software option in the Cardiovit AT-101 and Cardiovit AT-102 ECG recording devices.

 

The Schiller STP report is based on the standard ECG report, showing a standard ECG trace with ten seconds of ECG waveforms and standard waveform measurements. It also includes any number of the following interpretive statements indicating the prediction of thrombolysis:

• ST-T elevation, acute anterior infarct

• ST-T elevation, acute inferior infarct

• Possible infarct or other abnormality

• No significant abnormalities

• ECG consistent with large infarction

• ECG consistent with medium-sized infarction

• Consider thrombolytic therapy if symptoms are suspect for infarct and patient is 70 years or less

• Consider thrombolytic therapy if symptoms are suspect for infarct and patient is 80 years or less
