[Automatic clinical electrocardiography laboratory of the Udine regional hospital. Considerations on 50,000 tracings automatically analyzed with computers].
Automatic ECG processing has now passed beyond the experimental stage into the realm of clinical practice. It offers the most advanced solution to the organisation problems faced by ECG laboratories, particularly in large hospitals. A centralised laboratory for this work was first set up in Italy in 1973 at the Udine Regional Hospital. Its instrumentation and organisation are described and a consecutive sample of 1000 ECGs culled from the 50,000 computerised since its inception are discussed.
