Computer based laboratory electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements using the PASCO equipment was conducted simultaneously with a KENZ ECG 106 on 9 outpatients of De La Salle University-Medical Center, Dasmarinas, Cavite. The QRS-wave time interval value of both equipment was compared and analyzed using Within-subject designs of the t-test statistical analysis. Results indicate that there were significant differences on the QRS-wave time interval values between the PASCO ECG QRS-wave readings and the Lead 1 KENZ ECG-106 QRS-wave readings. The said results prompted the study to conclude that the PASCO ECG QRS-wave time interval readings are not comparable to the QRS-wave time interval of the Lead of the KENZ ECG. This conclusion was supported by the PASCO ECG readings on the 7 patients that were tested for the study and were rejected by the t-test analysis. The remaining 3 patients were only accepted because there are not enough data to prove otherwise.
