RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ, Fernando; CHAVEZ GONZALEZ, Elibet  and  CARMONA PUERTA, Raimundo. The “old” electrocardiogram continues to provide new variables for medical care and education. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2023, vol.15, e2749.  Epub Sep 30, 2023. ISSN 2077-2874.

The discovery of electrocardiography marked a milestone for medicine: it offered a better understanding of cardiovascular physiology and has been an essential tool for the diagnosis, evaluation, and prognostic stratification of almost all cardiovascular diseases, and it has been an irreplaceable component of cardiology research in contemporary medicine. Important investigations of the Cardiology professorship of the "Ernesto Guevara" University Hospital have had it as an object of study in line with the guidelines of the health system, for its application in assistance and updating of specialty programs, which have been enriched with new electrocardiographic variables called "non-classical". It is the objective of the authors to communicate some novel scientific results of investigations related to this ancient aid of diagnosis, which have been published in high-impact journals.

Keywords : Cardiology; electrocardiography; quality of health care; education, medical.
