    Abstract:
    The HP-5 program for computer analysis of the ECG has been evaluated as far as sensibility and specificity in a multicenter study. A consistent number of tracings were sampled according to a statistical formula and all measurements and statements given by the computer were checked in a standardized manner. The collected data were classified and computerized. The HP-5 program has shown a very high specificity for tracings classified as normal (0.7% of false negatives) and for those classified abnormal (no false positive), while the level of agreement between manual and computer readings of the tracings classified atypical or borderline, was fair (75%). It is concluded that the new program represents a significant step forward in the practical use of computerized ECG.
