Use of the computer for electrocardiographic interpretation has steadily increased over the past decade. Although acceptance by a majority of physicians has been slower than originally anticipated, it now appears assured. Nevertheless, the approach has limitations. These are primarily a result of the lack of objectivity in clinical electrocardiographic criteria for both measurement and diagnosis. The limitations are best judged by reviewing experience with a variety of programs. Currently this still involves abstracting from the reports of developers. Although not all developers have analyzed every portion of their programs, in general the data from one program apply to others; that is, all are with minor exceptions at the same "state of the art." Awareness of the limits of computer performance allows a physician to use the computer properly in his current electrocardiographic practice.

A new program for electrocardiographic processing will become available in 1975, "tuned", as part of a system, to take advantage of newer computer and data acquisition hardware at the same time as past experience on other programs has been carefully retained. User flexibility is a key feature along with safe methodology. The program is undergoing modification as part of a data pool user plan.
The benefits and capabilities of an automated medical signal analysis system that can lead to more effective patient care are identified, the capabilities of different types of systems are briefly mentioned, and automated systems that support nominative and managerial decisions are described. The need for the practicing physician to anticipate computer hardware limitations and potential errors in programming are briefly discussed.
