Test characteristics showing the diagnostic accuracy of paramedic ECG interpretation (‘normal’ vs ‘abnormal’) for NSTEMI

AMI
Sensitivity (95% CI)71.3% (60.6% to 80.5%)
Specificity (95% CI)57.8% (53.8% to 61.8%)
NPV (95% CI)93.3% (90.8% to 95.1%)
PPV (95% CI)19.7% (17.2% to 22.4%)
  • AMI, acute myocardial infraction; NPV, negative predictive value; NSTEMI, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction; PPV, positive predictive value.
