Description
Summary:Although automated ECG analysis has been available for many years, there are some aspects which require to be re-assessed with respect to their value while newer techniques which are worthy of review are beginning to find their way into routine use. At the annual International Society of Computerized Electrocardiology conference held in April 2017, four areas in particular were debated. These were a) automated 12 lead resting ECG analysis; b) real time out of hospital ECG monitoring; c) ECG imaging; and d) single channel ECG rhythm interpretation. One speaker presented the positive aspects of each technique and another outlined the more negative aspects. Debate ensued. There were many positives set out for each technique but equally, more negative features were not in short supply, particularly for out of hospital ECG monitoring. •Areas of topical interest in automated ECG reporting were debated at the 2017 International Society of Computerized Electrocardiology (ISCE) conference.•These included the value of automated ECG interpretation, real time ambulatory ECG monitoring, ECG imaging and single channel rhythm interpretation•Advantages and disadvantages were elaborated in each of the four topics.
