Abstract

A system of computer terminals was set up in a group of office practices, industrial medical departments and hospitals and connected to a central computer. This service provides a means of analyzing treadmill exercise results, which are displayed graphically on the computer printout. The system also provides estimates of probabilities of primary or secondary coronary heart disease events developing based on the exercise responses.
