Measurement of systolic time intervals through non-invasive polygraphic techniques in healthy subjects and in patients with ischaemic heart disease. Comparison of results obtained by conventional and computer assisted means.
Computer processing of carotidograms is an incontestable methodical asset. Electronic detection of systolic time intervals excludes human errors, makes possible evaluation of a greater number of systoles, and reduces the effect of nonlinearities of recording. The proposed computerized system saves tedious manual calculations and can yield results with mutual correlations within a short period of time.
