Information Controls

The Patient Info Button

The Show Patient Information Button button displays patient demographics (age, sex, height, and weight) and clinical history in a popup window if this information is available for the ECG. Use your best clinical judgment when viewing this data as with actual clinical recordings. For example, if the patient's height is 17 inches for a 56-year-old patient, the height measurement was probably transposed from 71 inches. The button will be disabled if demographics and clinical history are not available.

If patient information is not available for the sample, the button will be disabled and appear as follows: Disabled Show Patient Information Button.

The ECG Info Button

The Show ECG Information Button button displays data about the ECG, including Ventricular Rate, PR interval, QRS width, and more. These data, if available, are automatically extracted from the ECG and are not guaranteed to be verified. Use your best clinical judgment when viewing this data, as with actual clinical recordings. This button is only available on the Results page.

If ECG information is not available for the sample, the button will be disabled and appear as follows: Disabled Show ECG Information Button.
