Standardization of electrocardiographic interpretive statements is a goal of various coding systems, but word processing has not usually been considered. A simple, easily memorized system for clinical electrocardiography has been developed and used for approximately 60 000 interpretations. It takes the form of a "menu", in which boxes stand for various interpretive statements; the boxes are identified by mnemonics and marked by the interpreter when appropriate. The results provide better standardization, significant decreases in the numbers of descriptive statements and words per interpretation and considerable saving in typing time. Acceptance by the interpreters has been good. Features of the system allow for word processing as part of a polarcardiography computing system.
心电图解释性声明的标准化是各种编码系统的目标，但文字处理通常未被考虑在内。一种简单、易于记忆的临床心电图系统已被开发出来，并用于大约60000次解释。它采用“菜单”的形式，其中方框代表各种解释性声明；这些方框由助记符标识，并由解释者在适当的时候进行标注。结果实现了更好的标准化，每份解释中的描述性声明和单词数量显著减少，打字时间大幅节省。该系统得到了解释者的良好认可。该系统的特性允许将文字处理作为心电图计算系统的一部分。
