Accuracy of ECG interpretations

Physicians across all training levels exhibit deficiencies in ECG interpretation, highlighting the need for improved continuous education.

Limitations

  • Wide variation in outcomes could reflect real differences in training or skill or differences in assessment design.

Abstract

Physicians at all training levels had deficiencies in ECG interpretation, even after educational interventions. Improved education across the practice continuum appears warranted. Wide variation in outcomes could reflect real differences in training or skill or differences in assessment design.
