Electrocardiogram in General Practice : the EGG Study (EGG)

Existing resources to assist interpretation of ElectroCardioGram (ECG) in general practice provide specialized and comprehensive reading based on pathologies and ElectroCardioGram (ECG) signs rather than ElectroCardioGram (ECG) indications.

Describing practices in general medicine could help prioritize the relevance of clinical and ECG signs for the general practitioner, enabling to adjust the reading given the context.
