Type: openEHR ARCHETYPE
Purpose: To record the measurements of electrical activity generated by the heart and its associated clinical interpretation.
Use: Use to record the results of a 3-, 5-, 12-, 15- or 18-lead electrocardiograph (ECG) and its associated clinical interpretation. Each ECG variation can be constrained in a separate template to allow for easy re-use.
The default 'Any event' can be constrained in templates or at run time to specifically record ECGs conducted during exercise or under stress-testing conditions.
Misuse: Not to be used to record the results from ambulatory cardiac monitoring or inpatient telemetry.
Not to be used to record results from trans-oesophageal electrophysiological studies.
