Normal Variants in Electrocardiograms in Health Checkups According to the Minnesota Code

Abstract

 In health checkups, particularly the mandatory ones, the Minnesota Code of electrocardiographic findings is used to evaluate electrocardiographic (ECG) findings. This coding system has strict criteria based on waveforms and leads. However, there are cases where the findings of normal variants overlap with these criteria. Additionally, several textbooks describe normal variants was compiled and compared with the corresponding Minnesota Codes. By identifying normal variants, the burden of health checkup professionals and referral medical facilities can be reduced.
