A member asked:

Do you know the history of the death rate of heart patients before ecgs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Improved: I am very sure death rate of heart patients improved after ecg. It is a must in the acute rapid diagnosis and treatment of coronary syndromes. Plus can be use as predictor of death from heart disease.
