In more recent years its use in clinical medicine has become widespread. Coincidentally, and perhaps inevitably, with the increased application of electrocardiography, there has developed a tendency towards serious misuse of this valuable and useful method. The major reason for the abuse of the electrocardiogram is that its limitations have not been properly recognized. The frequency with which serious errors in medicine are made because of unjustified conclusions reached from interpretation of electrocardiograms...Bibliography1.
