Common Standards for Quantitative Electrocardiography : The CSE Pilot Study

A four year concerted action project has been started in the European Communities (EC) with the aim of “Common Standards for Quantitative Electrocardiography” (CSE Project). Standards for computer derived ECG measurements are urgently required because more and more quantitative diagnostic ECG criteria are now being derived by ECG computer programs and in view of the existing differences, first of all with respect to time measurements of present computer programs.
