Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is estimated to be the leading cause of death in the world 2020 [1]. Electrocardiography (ECG) continues to be the most commonly used laboratory procedure for the diagnosis of heart disease. Introduced in 1902 by Einthoven [2], the procedure reflects electrical changes associated with primary or secondary myocardial processes for example coronary artery disease, hypertension, and electrolyte abnormalities [3].
