Great investments have been made in computerized ECG interpretation but little attention has been paid to rationalization of such costly activities as recording, labelling and mounting ECGs, and still less to the presentation of ECGs. A system for such tasks is described. It includes a PDP8/E computer and modified ink jet ECG recorders, which write alphanumeric text and function as analogue input- and output-devices for the computer. On-line computer service is given independently to two laboratories for ECG at rest, VCG or exercise ECG. After averaging the ECG signal, the computer writes out a properly labelled ECG in an easily surveyable form. The visual interpretation of the ECG is entered and is then written on a new sheet together with the averaged 12-lead ECG and a rhythm strip. In exercise testing, the computer records and processes the ECG at predetermined intervals. The processing includes an automatic ST classification. A summarized presentationof the ECG before, during and after exercise allows easy visual identification of ECG changes. Experience of the system has mainly been obtained from 2 years of routine exercise ECG recording and to a limited extent from ECG and VCG recording at rest.
