The current role of ECG and signal monitoring in the diagnosis of Ischaemic Heart Disease is outlined in relation to imaging techniques giving accurate information on myocardial anatomy and function. ECG monitoring during stress testing remains the first step non-invasive method providing pathophysiological information. Long term continuous monitoring of the ECG and of other signals (e.g. arterial blood pressure and respiration) is commonly used to control patients with suspected or ascertained IHD. Progress of technology and of signal processing methods are driving the exploitation of signal information for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy control of ischaemic patients.
心电图和信号监测在缺血性心脏病诊断中的当前作用与能提供心肌解剖和功能准确信息的成像技术相关。负荷试验期间的心电图监测仍然是提供病理生理信息的首要非侵入性方法。对心电图和其他信号（如动脉血压和呼吸）进行长期连续监测常用于管理疑似或确诊的缺血性心脏病患者。技术和信号处理方法的进步正在推动对信号信息的利用，以用于缺血性患者的诊断、预后评估和治疗控制。
