Figure 2. The cumulative sensitivity (number of patients with myocardial infarction [ ] divided by all patients with MI) of electrocardiographic interpretations is on the y-axis and is plotted against the cumulative false-positive rate (number of patients without MI divided by all patients without MI) on the x-axis. is defined as not known to be old. Reproduced from Rouan et al. .
