Abstract:
A recent, retrospective, multicenter korean study is the first to highlight the possible application of electrocardiograms (ECGs) for the diagnosis of systemic conditions, in particular anaemia. To confirm this predictive ability, however, methodologically more valid studies are needed, on populations at greater risk and with less serious levels of anaemia. As always, in the context of human-machine interaction, the integration between technology and the clinical experience of health professionals is also necessary, the soft skills that make them superior to algorithms.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
