The Louvain program performs the analysis and interpretation of the vectorcardiogram (VCG) to increase the clinical utility of ECG analysis. Among its original features, there are (1) a high-resolution vector-loop display for visual analysis, (2) quantitative analysis of the spatial VCG using age-sex stratified limits, (3) separate software for adult and pediatric series and (4) complementary deterministic and statistical methods of diagnostic classification. Using objective, ECG-independent evidence as a reference standard, the Louvain program has shown satisfactory levels of diagnostic accuracy in most basic categories. However, its usefulness is especially marked in "borderline" or "complex" situations, where the 12-lead ECG cannot provide a clear answer. It corresponds to the concept of "computer-assisted ECG interpretation" as opposed to "computer ECG analysis".
