title: [The ideal computer for ECG analysis (author's transl)].
abstract: An on-line minicomputer with a suitable structure turns out to be the ideal system for ECG interpretation. The motivations for this conclusion come both from the nature of the ECG analysis process and from the solution that the present state of the process and from the solution that the present state of the computer technology suggests for the controversy on large-scale computers versus minicomputers in the medical environment. In this paper both these aspects of the problem are briefly discussed and an ideal structure is proposed for a system based on a minicomputer. The main goals of this system are flexibility, adequate man-machine interfacing, low cost, high reliability and minimal maintenance, minimum installation space and site preparation.
