When Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG detects an arrhythmia, an event is created
that displays the time of occurrence and a description of the arrhythmia. The event is
displayed in the event list, see 7.2 for more information on configuring which events will be
displayed or printed.
You can also capture events yourself. When you do this, a mark is inserted at the place
where the event occurred, and the event is added to the event list.
After recording, you can edit or expand the description of the event.
