[Work experience of a cardiology center with remote and automatic patient observation].

The author describes the experience of a cardiological remote consultation-diagnostic center which carries out 212 961 consultations with remote ECG recording in 1972--1978. The center is equipped with a telemetric apparatus constructed by the author jointly with engineers, which makes it possible to record the ECG by telephone and radio. The centre also has an automatic system intended for the observation of patients with acute myocardial infarction in intensive therapy wards. The electrocardiographic shifts, skin temperature, myocardial contractility, and arterial pressure of the patients are kept under continuous observation by means of electronic computers.
