title: Clinical usefulness of computerized ECG systems.
abstract: Computer ECG systems provide a valuable function for ECG analysis, storage, retrieval, and serial comparison. The current systems can provide quality control of technician performance, acquisition equipment, and physician overreading. Its overall acceptability and clinical usefulness is documented in a clinical practice setting with a 90.4% computer-physician agreement in more than 20,000 ECGs. Computerized ECG systems have demonstrated their clinical usefulness in patient care.
