Abstract :
To allow a full and easy integration between digital ECG storage and clinical database, routine ECGs are transferred to a local area network using a RS232 communication line. Sample data are available on the 8 independent leads in decompressed format. The ECGs are linked with the clinical database so that they can be easily reviewed during routine operations. When recalled by the operator, the ECG is displayed on a full screen in its original format together with the interpretation. A grey to scale algorithm improves the graphic resolution even using conventional VGA display cards. Double size zoom and high quality reprint are also available. A seven month pilot clinical test was performed with excellent results
