    Abstract:
    The most important advantage of computer-assisted ECG/VCG interpretation in our center is the enhancement of the diagnostic accuracy of ECG interpretation, as compared to that reported in the literature for the visual analysis of ECGs and VCGs. Favourable side effects are also obtained from the optimization of various functions involved n ECG data processing, like data handling, editing, reporting, storage and retrieval. Improvement of the arrhythmia program and creation of a new pediatric VCG program are currently in progress in our laboratory. Computerized electrocardiography has made us aware of the limitations of conventional, visual reading of electrocardiograms. Thanks to the current efforts towards standardization of the quantitative analysis of ECGs and VCGs and towards optimization of diagnostic criteria, computerized electrocardiography will undoubtedly lead to a generalized improved accuracy of ECG interpretation.
