Abstract:Computerized electrocardiography (ECG) has been widely used and allows linkage to electronic medical records. The present study describes the development and clinical applications of an electronic cohort derived from a digital ECG database obtained by the Telehealth Network of Minas Gerais, Brazil, for the period 2010–2017, linked to the mortality data from the national information system, the Clinical Outcomes in Digital Electrocardiography (CODE) dataset. From 2,470,424 ECGs, 1,773,689 patients were identifi… Show more
“…The authors have made use of almost 2.5 million ECGs from individuals followed up for 3.7 years. The group had a mortality rate of 3.3% and the authors examine the predictive value of a variety of ECG abnormalities with respect to overall mortality [5]. This is an excellent example of big data and computer techniques enhancing the value of ECG analysis.…”
