Why Good Enough ... Isn’t Good Enough For ECGs
Heart disease & stroke
About 92.1 million American adults are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the after-effects of stroke.1
A growing concern
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.2
An ECG may be the most important thing you do today.
But, you can only interpret what you can see.
Overly filtered ECGs can DISTORT or REMOVE the authentic ECG waveform data you need to interpret.
That’s why governing bodies like the ACC, AHA and HRS publish adult and pediatric guidelines,3 providing guidance to:
- Limit filtering so not to sacrifice potentially lifesaving ECG waveform data
- Clearly disclose filtering so physicians can more easily identify original vs. processed ECG waveform data
