What is a multifunction cardiogram (mcg)? how does it differ from an ecg? also, what are the benefits of an mcg?

More sensitive : uses ekg technology and is more sensitive for picking up ischemia and infarction compared with traditional ekgs. Studies have compared it with stress testing and other physiological tests and are promising. It analyzes 2 leads (v5 and II) for 82 seconds and a computer database with 40,000 pts are used as a reference. The analysis is performed by a computer and the result is sent back to doctor.
