Whereas Augustus Waller first recorded an “electrogram” from the intact skin’s surface
in 1887, Willem Einthoven received the 1924 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology
for decoding intracardiac transmembrane anion transients into a clinically useful
output in 1903.

Einthoven’s Triangle for electrocardiogram (ECG) limb lead placement, designed to
detect the electronic fields generated by a biological neural network during cyclical
myocardial activity, is still used to amplify electrical potential changes between
leads as dynamic vectors. An enduring apprenticeship of cardiology training remains
12-lead ECG interpretation, a skill that continues to be a significant component of
clinical practice and cardiovascular medicine specialty board examinations.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- Deep Learning Algorithm Predicts Angiographic Coronary Artery Disease in Stable Patients Using Only a Standard 12-Lead ElectrocardiogramCanadian Journal of CardiologyVol. 37Issue 11
- PreviewCurrent electrocardiogram analysis algorithms cannot predict the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), especially in stable patients. This study assessed the ability of an artificial intelligence algorithm (ECGio; HEARTio Inc, Pittsburgh, PA) to predict the presence, location, and severity of coronary artery lesions in an unselected stable patient population.
