Critical values in the Uni-G program

Electrocardiograms may not be reviewed by a specialist for several hours after recording. This may lead to delayed clinical action in certain cases. To circumvent the problem, significantly abnormal ECGs are flagged through the provision of headline statements, sometimes known as critical values. The University of Glasgow ECG analysis program has been augmented to include 6 such headline statements. This significantly enhances the clinical utility of the software.
