University of Glasgow emeritus professor and honorary senior research fellow Peter Macfarlane, Ph.D., D.Sc., joins host Anthony Kashou, M.D., for a look back at how the first attempts to analyze electrocardiograms with computerized software at the University of Glasgow during the 1960s have come to shape the ECG criteria used in clinical practice today.

Specific topics of discussion include:

• The history of ECG analysis at the University of Glasgow.
• Key features and criteria needed to recognize sinus rhythm.
• The process of commercially developing automated techniques to analyze electrocardiograms.
• Clinical trials and studies that validated the work.
