    This study evaluated six computer programs for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis against physician interpretations in 252 adult patients. Results highlight variations in computer accuracy for detecting cardiac conditions, emphasizing the need for careful program selection.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Informatics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Computerized electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is transitioning from research to clinical application.
    • Industrial firms offer various ECG analysis systems with claims of high reliability.
    • Independent evaluation of these commercial ECG analysis programs is necessary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of commercially available computer programs for ECG analysis.
    • To compare computer-based ECG interpretations with conventional physician analysis.
    • To assess the reliability of automated ECG interpretation for rhythm, extrasystoles, infarctions, and ST-T-segment variations.

    Main Methods:

    • ECG data from 252 adult patients were recorded using standardized adhesive electrodes.

  • Recordings were acquired on magnetic tapes from four different manufacturers' data acquisition units.
  • Computer analysis was performed using six distinct ECG analysis programs, alongside conventional analysis by three cardiologists.

    • Main Results:

    • The study compared computer-generated ECG analyses with physician interpretations for rhythm, extrasystoles, infarctions, and ST-T-segment variations.
    • Performance metrics for each of the six computer programs were assessed against a cardiologist consensus.
    • Significant variations in accuracy were observed among the evaluated computer programs.

    Conclusions:

    • The reliability of automated ECG analysis varies significantly between different computer programs.
    • Physician interpretation remains crucial for accurate ECG diagnosis, particularly for complex findings.
    • Further research and standardization are needed for reliable computer-assisted ECG interpretation in clinical practice.
