Abstract

The ESC Guidelines represent the views of the ESC and were arrived at after careful consideration of the available evidence at the time they were written.Health professionals are encouraged to take them fully into account when exercising their clinical judgement.The guidelines do not, however, override the individual responsibility of health professionals to make appropriate decisions in the circumstances of the individual patients, in consultation with that patient, and where appropriate and necessary the patient's guardian or carer.It is also the health professional's responsibility to verify the rules and regulations applicable to drugs and devices at the time of prescription.

  • In adult patients with CHDs, AECG is considered class IIa for monitoring of arrhythmias and/or conduction disturbances.

    “In adult patients with CHDs, AECG is considered as a class IIa for monitoring of arrhythmias and/or conduction disturbances”

    From 2017 ISHNE-HRS expert consensus statement on ambulatory ECG and external cardiac monitoring/telemetry (2017) · cites this paper as Baumgartner et al., 2010

    Section 3.2 (Diagnostic work-up; page unavailable) says that evaluating arrhythmias in grown-up congenital heart disease patients, primarily those with symptoms, may require Holter monitoring or event recorders. The copy does not assign ambulatory ECG monitoring a class IIa recommendation, and the cited passage does not extend monitoring to all adult patients with congenital heart disease. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
