    A new program automates the generation of Minnesota-codes from resting 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG). This automated system achieved an 83% agreement with human coders, demonstrating its potential for efficient ECG analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Informatics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • The Minnesota code is a standardized system for classifying ECG abnormalities.
    • Manual ECG coding is time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variability.
    • Automating ECG analysis can improve efficiency and consistency in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a program for automated Minnesota-code generation from resting 12-lead ECGs.
    • To assess the agreement between automated coding and manual coding by ECG technicians.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an automated coding program as part of the Modular TNO ECG/VCG Processing System.
    • Testing the program on two datasets: 279 normal ECGs and 286 consecutive clinical ECGs.

  • Comparison of automated codes with hand-coded classifications by multiple ECG technicians.

    • Main Results:

    • An overall agreement of 83% was achieved between automated and manual Minnesota-code generation.
    • Disagreements accounted for 17% of cases, with minor measurement differences (less than 5%) contributing to one-third of these discrepancies.
    • The automated system shows promising accuracy in classifying ECGs.

    Conclusions:

    • Automated Minnesota-code generation from resting 12-lead ECGs is feasible and demonstrates high agreement with manual coding.
    • The developed program offers a potential solution for streamlining ECG interpretation and reducing variability.
    • Further refinement may address minor measurement discrepancies to enhance accuracy.
