Method in the Chaos – a step-by-step approach to ECG Interpretation

Abstract

According to the expert opinion of the Working Group on Noninvasive Electrocardiology and Telemedicine of the Polish Cardiac Society, the interpretation (and report) of an electrocardiogram (ECG) consists of 10 steps. For the sake of simplicity, it is possible to simplify these rules to 7 steps. The aim of this article is to help refresh the clinical aspects of ECG interpretation and to hopefully clarify the confusion surrounding it.
