ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the reliability of algorithms predicting the location of the culprit lesion in a totally occluded coronary artery from a 12 lead ECG recording. Four commercial ECG analysis programs and two specific algorithms were evaluated. Five hundred well documented cases were used for testing. Evaluation of the results reveals that all algorithms perform suboptimal.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the AMOC project which aims at the improvement of patient throughput in the outpatient clinics. Indicators describing the workflow were extracted and serve as a base for a so called continuous improvement model. As pro actively monitoring the workflow turned out to be the best tool to optimize the throughput, a computer system was developed to present in a ldquodashboardrdquo like manner the state of the indicators.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the effects of a treatment protocol for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction, which was introduced in 2004. The setup of the new approach is described. The principle goal is to minimize time between onset of symptoms associated with acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion through primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Preliminary results are discussed

ABSTRACT: In the Cardiology department, many different sources of clinical information are used in the daily routine. Integration of these (digital) sources into an electronic patient record is a logical step. One of the issues regarding the integration of data is the integrity of patient data: there shouldn't be any mis-registration of patient related data such as patient ID, patient name. To achieve integrity of patient data, we have now created a method to automatically transfer patient related data from one system to the other, mostly by using industry standards for communication of these data. With the integrity of these data secured, we can now proceed with the integration of the data into one system
