Abstract

A system aimed at a better exploitation by a cardiologist of descriptions supplied by present ECG interpretation systems is presented. This goal is achieved by looking at the ECG as a visual sentence, whose elements are graphical representations of the phenomena of interest to cardiologists. They are thus allowed to exploit and enhance their culture of visual intepretation in the interaction with the report generator of the system.
