High-Bandpass Filters in Electrocardiography: Source of Error in the Interpretation of the ST Segment

Figure 5

Variation of the ST segment according to the filter used. Lead V2. In the upper part no ST variations were observed in changing the low-pass filters (40, 100, or 150 Hz). The variations in the ST segment were only produced in the manual recording mode with high-pass filters of 0.5 Hz, regardless of the low-pass filter used (intermediate zone). In auto mode (lower part), no changes in the ST segment were produced. Auto and manual mode (see Figure 3).
