This paper describes an automated ECG-system as it is used in the 1000-bed University Hospital Utrecht, The Netherlands. The system involves a "hybride" approach, combining computer analysis of the ECG by means of the Pipberger program with the reading by a cardiologist via a specially developed coding system. Up until now (since January 1, 1972) 35,000 ECGs have been handled systematically at a rate of approximately 100 ECGs per working day. All the ECGs, together with the ECG-diagnoses and other relevant data of the patient are stored and can be retrieved whenever wanted. The system enables comparison of computer analysis and cardiologist's reading of the ECG. The boundary between reliable computer analysis and the necessity of human reading and verification lies with the normal ECGs. This apparently meagre result of the computer ECG-analysis for hospital use is, however, a great achievement for its use in epidemiological studies.
本文介绍了一种在荷兰乌得勒支大学医院（拥有1000张床位）使用的自动心电图系统。该系统采用“混合”方法，将通过皮普伯格程序对心电图进行的计算机分析与心脏病专家通过专门开发的编码系统进行的解读相结合。截至目前（自1972年1月1日起），已系统处理了35000份心电图，工作日处理速度约为每天100份心电图。所有心电图以及患者的心电图诊断和其他相关数据均被存储，可随时检索。该系统能够比较计算机分析结果与心脏病专家对心电图的解读。可靠的计算机分析与人工解读及验证必要性之间的界限在于正常心电图。然而，这种用于医院的计算机心电图分析看似微不足道的结果，在流行病学研究中的应用却是一项重大成就。
