GUIDELINE OBJECTIVE(S)- To examine the relation of the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) to its technology
- To foster understanding of how the modern ECG is derived and displayed
- To establish standards that will improve the accuracy and usefulness of the ECG in practice
Patients presenting with or at risk of, but not limited to:
- Acute coronary syndromes
- Intraventricular conduction disturbances and arrhythmias
- Electrolyte abnormalities, particularly of serum potassium and calcium
- Genetically mediated electrical or structural cardiac abnormalities
- Conditions treated with antiarrhythmic and other drugs
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
MAJOR OUTCOMES CONSIDEREDAccuracy of electrocardiogram (ECG)
