Agree: Machine only doing what it was programmed to do.
A good 20% of people have borderline or abnormal ekg. Many related to variation in lead placement and may have no physiologic correlate.
Ekg could and probably should say: no significant dysrhythmia, ectopy or morphologic change suggestive of underlying heart disease or ongoing ischemia. Please corellate clinically and review with prior ekg.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
