What's in your ECG report.
Every CardioBridge report is written and signed by a practising consultant cardiologist or paediatrician — a full interpretation of the trace, a formal diagnostic impression, and clear guidance on what to do next.
Written by a consultant cardiologist or paediatrician
Adult traces are read by a practising consultant cardiologist; paediatric traces are read by a practising consultant paediatrician. Either way the person who signs your report is a specialist in active clinical practice, named on the document.
- A named consultant, every timeYour report carries the name of the practising consultant cardiologist who read the trace and signed it. There is no anonymous reporting pool and no unattributed sign-off.
- GMC-registeredUK consultants reporting through CardioBridge are registered with the General Medical Council, and the registration is checked as part of onboarding.
- AI never issues a reportAI assistance may pre-fill a draft for the consultant to confirm or discard, but no interpretation reaches you until a consultant has reviewed the trace themselves and signed it.
- Read by a practising clinicianReporting consultants are in active clinical practice, not retired from it — the same judgement that runs a cardiology clinic reads your trace.
A complete reading of the trace
The report works through the trace systematically rather than jumping to a conclusion — so you can see the reasoning, not just the verdict.
- Rhythm and rateThe underlying rhythm and the ventricular rate, including whether the rhythm is sinus, and whether rate or regularity is outside the expected range.
- IntervalsThe measured intervals and what they mean for this patient — including where an interval is prolonged, shortened, or borderline enough to matter clinically.
- MorphologyWaveform morphology across the trace — axis, complex and segment appearances, and any changes that carry diagnostic weight.
- Abnormalities identifiedAny abnormality the consultant identifies is named explicitly rather than left implicit in the measurements, so nothing depends on you reading between the lines.
A formal impression, not a description
A list of measurements is not a diagnosis. Every report carries the consultant's formal interpretation of what the trace shows — stated plainly, and stated as their clinical judgement.
- ArrhythmiaWhere a disturbance of rhythm is present, the report gives the consultant's formal interpretation of it rather than a description of the trace alone.
- Conduction abnormalityBlocks and other conduction abnormalities are interpreted and named, with the consultant's view of their significance for this patient.
- Structural concernWhere the trace raises a question about underlying structural heart disease, the report says so directly — including when the ECG alone cannot settle it.
Where the trace is genuinely equivocal, the report says that too. A consultant who is not certain tells you they are not certain — and says what would settle it.
What it means for this patient
The impression is followed by the consultant's guidance on what it actually means — the part a referring clinician needs in order to act.
- Clinical significanceWhether the findings are clinically significant for this patient, or an incidental appearance that does not change management.
- Whether to investigate furtherA clear position on whether the ECG settles the question or whether further investigation is warranted — and what it would be looking for.
- Escalation flagsAnything requiring urgent cardiology referral is flagged explicitly in the report, not left for the reader to infer from the findings.
These are recommendations from the reporting consultant to the clinician responsible for the patient. Care of the patient — and the decision to act — stays with you.
Clear next steps
Every report closes on a next step, in plain language, so nobody has to decide what the report was implying. Typical outcomes:
- No further action required
- Repeat the ECG
- 24-hour Holter monitoring
- Echocardiography
- Urgent cardiology referral
Urgent findings are flagged in the report itself and surfaced in the portal, so an escalation does not depend on somebody opening a PDF in time.
However your team works
The same signed report reaches you through whichever channel your organisation is set up for — portal, record system, or your own product.
- In the portalThe signed report appears in your secure results portal, against the same reference you submitted under.
- Written back to your EMRConnect your record system and the signed report files straight back against the patient, with no re-keying.
- By API and webhookSubscribe to a webhook and your product reacts the moment a report is signed, rather than polling for it.
See EMR/EHR integration, the REST API or AI agent integration for how each channel works.
