Abstract :
The diagnostic accuracy of various ECG computerized systems was tested in the EC/COMAC/ BME:CSE-Common Standards for Quantitative Electrocardiography study, but not the reproducibility. This was assessed in the present study For type A statements it was 93%, for type B statements it was 87%, and for type C statements it was 77%. The reproducibility for type A statements was superior to that of human readers
