There are a number of ECG indices derived from continuous measurements of duration, voltage, and intervals that add to the prognostic information that can be derived from the electrocardiogram. These are easily derived from analysis of electronically recorded ECG signals but some, such as heart rate variability can be derived by measurement of hard copy ECGs.
