12 lead ECG Algorithms with Prof Peter MacFarlane
Manage episode 447173315 series 3095917
In this episode, we explore the history and development of ECG algorithms with a leading expert in the field. We'll cover the early days of ECG interpretation, the hurdles in creating automated algorithms, and how this essential technology has evolved. Our guest, with decades of experience, will discuss his role in establishing an ECG Core Laboratory for clinical trials and epidemiological studies. We'll also look at the globally used Glasgow ECG algorithm, which aids thousands of clinicians in interpreting 12 lead ECGs.
Joining me is Professor Peter Macfarlane, Emeritus Professor and Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow. His team's work, including the Glasgow ECG interpretation program, is renowned worldwide. Peter's research has focused on ECG variations across age, gender, and ethnicity, influencing international guidelines for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. He founded an ECG Core Laboratory for both national and international clinical trials and studies. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Macfarlane received a DSc in 2000, the 1998 Rijlant International Prize in Electrocardiology, and a CBE in January 2014 for his contributions to healthcare. to see more on the Glasgow ECG Program Research, see here:
