| Abstract: | In many fields of modern medicine, diagnosis and treatment demand the rapid correlation of a very large number of variables. To reduce this task to manageable proportions increasing use is being made of computers. The subject of the use of computers in medicine generally is too broad to review adequately in a brief space. This article is restricted to the use of computers in electrocardiography, which is not only intrinsically important-because of the problem of heart disease in the western world—but has been used as a proving ground for many other applications. |
