Ventricular Tachycardia Database Development and Detection

By ACA | December 6, 2022

Guest: Michele Pelter, R.N., Ph.D.
Hosts: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. (@anthonykashoumd)

Joining us today to discuss Ventricular Tachycardia Database Development and Detection designed to improve hospital-based ECG monitoring is Michele Pelter, R.N., Ph.D., associate professor in the School of Nursing at the University of California San Francisco. Her current work has focused on improving the detection of transient myocardial ischemia and most recently understanding false ECG alarms that might contribute to alarm fatigue in nurses.

Specific topics discussed:
• Why is identifying ventricular tachycardia during hospital-based ECG monitoring a problem?
• Why is ventricular tachycardia the focus?
• What are some algorithm deficiencies?
• How might the annotated ventricular tachycardia database help improve the problem of false ventricular tachycardia alarms?
• Other projects that Dr. Pelter is working on related to hospital-based ECG monitoring.
