How accurate is an
electrocardiogram?
o
The statistics are showing that the computer system is the most
accurate when reading an electrocardiogram. However it is stating
that the computer system is not always 100% accurate with the
readings.
Twenty per cent of cases of atrial fibrillation were missed, and the
probability that a positive diagnosis was correct was only 41%.
