Centralised interpretation of electrocardiograms.

Analysis of emergency department interpretation of electrocardiograms.

The objective of the study was to determine the concordance of emergency physicians' and cardiologists' interpretations of emergency department (ED) electrocardiograms (ECG), to evaluate the impact of ECG misinterpretation on patient management, and to determine error rates as a function of the level of physician training and the specific ECG diagnoses. ECG interpretations were registered prosp...

Accuracy of interpretation of preparticipation screening electrocardiograms.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of pediatric cardiologists' interpretations of electrocardiograms (ECGs). STUDY DESIGN A series of 18 ECGs that represented conditions causing pediatric sudden cardiac death or normal hearts were interpreted by 53 members of the Western Society of Pediatric Cardiology.

Interpretation of electrocardiograms in infants and children

Electrocardiography is a useful tool in the management of paediatric heart disease. Interpretation requires practice due to changing norms which are brought about by the physiological changes that occur in the circulatory system in this age group. This article outlines these normal changes.

Interpretation of electrocardiograms in primary care.

the next person. QOF encouraged us to identify chronic kidney disease (CKD), and now overburdened by its commonness, we are at risk of throwing away all we have achieved. Few diagnoses are predictably associated with such a dramatic increase in cardiovascular risk and none are so easily identified by a cheap and easily available blood test.2,3 The clustering of vascular pathologies with diabete...
