- Abstract
Since a few decades ago, electrocardiogram (ECG) is associated with informatics. Patient attended a healthcare center, where a professional (usually a nurse) performed a 12-lead electrocardiogram on him/her. The electrocardiograph, through algorithms that recognized the waves, presented the leads in different formats, both voltage and speed could be changed, it could be made either automatically or manually and finally the apparatus formulated a diagnostic hypothesis. In last decade, the use of informatics and of the advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) is exponentially increasing in healthcare. It is no longer necessary for the recording to be made in the presence of a professional, as the ECG can be transmitted and/or interpreted remotely, live or a posteriori; by means of artificial intelligence, future can even be predicted. Healthcare systems are under transition due to social phenomena that act as promoters of social change. These healthcare transitions are produced at a demographic, epidemiologic, economic, working, media, judicial, political and technological level. In the present article, we will briefly describe these changes and will focus on the technological change, in the present and future of cardiology and electrocardiography. If we are knowledgeable about these processes of change, we will be able to act proactively and as facilitators of change.
