Abstract

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a complex set of cardiac signals that require a high degree of skill and clinical knowledge to interpret. Therefore, it is imperative to record and understand how expert readers interpret the 12-lead ECG. This short paper showcases how eye tracking technology and audio data can be fused together and visualised to gain insight into the interpretation techniques employed by an eminent ECG champion, namely Dr Rory Childers.
