title: Development of a method of evaluating cardiac performance using interactive computer graphics.
abstract: The authors discuss an objective method of analyzing local wall motion to detect and measure the pattern of contraction of the left ventricle using computer graphics. The method's advantages include: (a) the use of modular hardward and software, which can be extended and upgraded; (b) a minimal expenditure of time and money; (c) uniformly calculated results; and (d) a graphic and legible report.
