[Language of physicians' ECG conclusions].

The elaboration of a standardized language for expressing the ECG diagnosis is of great practical importance and is necessary for the creation of a system of automatic treatment of the electrocardiosignal. A language is suggested for the ECG findings according to the changes in the ECG contour and disorders of the cardiac rhythm and conduction. It is based on the syndromal approach which makes it possible in analysis of the ECG to only distinguish definite syndromes without dictating a narrow diagnostic interpretation on the doctor. A list of 56 ECG diagnoses according to the character of the ECG contour and 60 elementary diagnoses relating to disorders of cardiac rhythm and conduction is given. The suggested language embraces all clinically important ECG syndromes and may be used in the elaboration of a system of automatic analysis and accepted as the foundation of a standardized language for expressing the ECG findings in practical electrocardiology.
