Computer processing of electrocardiograms (ECGs) has over the last 15 years increased rapidly. Still, there are at present no standards for computer ECG interpretation. Different techniques are used not only for measurement and interpretation, but also for transmission and storage of data. In order to fill these gaps, a large international project, sponsored by the European Commission, was launched in 1980 to develop "Common Standards for Quantitative Electrocardiography (CSE)". The main… Expand

Comparison of diagnostic results of ECG computer programs and cardiologists
TLDR
Assessment of the diagnostic performance of computer programs and of cardiologists against ECG-independent validated data was the primary objective, however, also testing against the readings of a group ofCardiologists was performed to assess the clinical acceptability of the computer program results. Expand
Improvement of automated electrocardiographic diagnosis by combination of computer interpretations of the electrocardiogram and vectorcardiogram.
TLDR
The performance of an ECG computer program can be improved by incorporating both ECG and VCG classificatory knowledge, using only the ECG itself. Expand
Eyewitness to history: Landmarks in the development of computerized electrocardiography.
The use of digital computers for ECG processing was pioneered in the early 1960s by two immigrants to the US, Hubert Pipberger, who initiated a collaborative VA project to collect an ECG-independent… Expand
The History and Challenges of SCP-ECG: The Standard Communication Protocol for Computer-Assisted Electrocardiography
TLDR
All of the landmarks in the development and publication of SCP-ECG, from the early 1990s to the 2009 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) SCP- ECG standards, are presented, including the latest version published by CEN in 2020, which now encompasses rest and stress ECGs, Holter recordings, and protocol-based trials. Expand
Combination of diagnostic classifications from ECG and VCG computer interpretations.
TLDR
The combined interpretation from all single beats of the dominant waveform from the same ECG recording (sECG) proved to be significantly better than that of the ECG or VCG separately, but the difference in performance between the sECG and the VCG was not significant. Expand
Heart Association Electrocardiography Electrocardiogram : Part I : The Electrocardiogram and Its Technology : A Recommendations for the Standardization and Interpretation
This statement examines the relation of the resting ECG to its technology. Its purpose is to foster understanding of how the modern ECG is derived and displayed and to establish standards that will… Expand
Status of computerized electrocardiography.
TLDR
Until there is true automated ECG analysis, computerized interpretations should be viewed as an adjunct to, not a substitute for, interpretation by a competent and experienced physician. Expand
Signal-analysis and a heuro-logistic interpretation of multi-lead electrocardiograms
TLDR
A successful attempt has been made to evaluate the parameters of diagnostic importance and interpret the multi-lead ECG analysis results using the heuro-logistic approach. Expand
CSE database: extended annotations and new recommendations for ECG software testing
TLDR
The annotations and recommendations proposed in this work will allow for faster development and testing of classification software and lead to faster diagnoses and earlier treatment in cardiologists’ work. Expand
Recommendations for the standardization and interpretation of the electrocardiogram. Part I: The electrocardiogram and its technology. A scientific statement from the American Heart Association Electrocardiography and Arrhythmias Committee, Council on Clinical Cardiology; the American College of Car
TLDR
This statement examines the relation of the resting ECG to its technology to establish standards that will improve the accuracy and usefulness of the ECG in practice and recommend recommendations for ECG standards. Expand

Assessment of the performance of electrocardiographic computer programs with the use of a reference data base.
TLDR
The present study demonstrates that to allow an exchange of results and diagnostic criteria between different ECG computer programs, definitions, minimum wave requirements, and measurement procedures urgently need to be standardized. Expand
Establishment of a reference library for evaluating computer ECG measurement programs.
TLDR
An ECG reference data base has been established and a reference library has thereby been developed which allows testing of the performance of ECG measurement programs and is a useful instrument in establishing recommendations for more precise measurement rules and definitions. Expand
Evaluation of ECG interpretation results obtained by computer and cardiologists.
TLDR
Preliminary results indicate that the classification accuracy of several programs can still be improved, but it was also apparent that the results of the best 12-lead ECG computer programs proved to be almost as accurate as the best of seven cardiologists in classifying seven main disease categories.

TLDR
A measurement strategy based on selective averaging is recommended for diagnostic ECG computer programs, however, averaging should be performed only if proper alignment and precise waveform comparison have been performed beforehand in order to exclude dissimilar complexes. Expand
