BTL CardioPoint-Ergo is a new generation of advanced computer-based stress-test systems. Its simple operation and number of automated features allow physicians to better focus on their patients during the test. Its advanced diagnostic features help extract maximum information from the test to reliably define risk of CAD (coronary arterial disease).

Main Features
Compatibility with BTL ECGs
In standard configuration, the BTL CardioPoint-Ergo comes with
the BTL-08 SD3 ECG. This ECG features its own thermal printer and internal battery and thus, if needed, can be used independently of a computer as a portable device. Other ECG models (except for SD1) can be however connected to the CardioPoint-Ergo as well if additional features are required.
ST Maps
ST maps display ST segment deviations in horizontal and vertical plane. They help recognize the common pathologies associated with ST segment deviations easily and quickly.
QT Module
The QT module helps evaluating QT(c) interval to diagnose possible risk of ventricular tachycardias that may result in sudden cardiac death. It uses a tangent method which is specifically suitable for QT measurement with higher heart rates, when there is no clear return to the baseline or the T wave has two peaks.
Automatic Stress Test Protocol
BTL CardioPoint-Ergo calculates the exercise protocol automatically based on KUP 2008 guidelines. As a result, each patient is tested with an optimized load according to their personal data.
Risk Scoring
The Risk Scoring tool uses the examination results to automatically predict the risk of patient’s mortality and to define the risk of CAD (coronary arterial disease).
