- All cardiac cycle durations (R-R intervals)
- Averaged ECG complex
- PR, QRS, and QT intervals

Reports are processed when received and copies sent by FAX to the ordering physician.
Report copies are maintained by Telescan so that duplicates are available in event of loss or
damage.
In emergency situations or if requested, the ordering physician may be contacted by telephone and a
verbal report given by the technician.
