Patient Data and Interpretation
• Enter all patient information. Some patient information
directly affects ECG analysis. The physician uses this
information when interpreting ECG reports. Also, an
interpretive Atria provides more accurate and complete
analysis statements when patient information is complete.
• Enter patient information at any time (either before or after
the ECG). Changing age, gender, race, medication or clinical
classification after acquisition, causes the interpretive Atria
to prompt to reanalyze the data. Any changes in
interpretation are included in future printouts. If the data is
not reanalyzed, edits are not saved.
