This interpretation, or final conclusion, is the starting point for treatment of the patient. | |||
'''Examples of conclusions are''': | |||
* " | * "Sinus tachycardia with ST elevation, likely caused by acute myocardial infarction" | ||
* "Supraventricular tachycardia of 200 | * "Supraventricular tachycardia of 200 beats per minute caused by an AV nodal re-entry" | ||
* "Previous infarction combined with an acute lateral | * "Previous infarction combined with an acute lateral myocardial infarction with widening of the QRS complexes" | ||
