Low-cost comprehensive data system for cardiac patients.

L J Melendez, A C MacDonald

    Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    A low-cost system using a programmable calculator was developed to manage cardiac catheterization data. This system efficiently stores, retrieves, and reports clinical, hemodynamic, and angiographic information for research and quality control.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Informatics
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Effective data management is crucial for clinical research and quality control in cardiac laboratories.
    • High costs of traditional computer systems limit their widespread adoption for managing cardiac data.
    • There is a need for affordable and accessible data processing solutions in cardiac diagnostics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a low-cost data processing and procedure reporting system for cardiac catheterization and angiography.
    • To enable efficient collection, storage, and retrieval of clinical, hemodynamic, and angiographic information.
    • To facilitate both patient care reporting and research analysis using accessible technology.

    Main Methods:

    • A system was designed using a programmable calculator, floppy disk drive, and printer.
    • Clinical profile (CP), angiographic interpretation (AI), and hemodynamic data were collected for 750 adult patients.
    • Data input was simplified through multiple-choice forms and calculator prompts, with coding for database use.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully initiated files for 750 consecutive adult patients.
    • Each patient file contains coded clinical, angiographic, and hemodynamic data.
    • Immediate data access for cross-referencing, computation, and statistical analysis was achieved.
    • Information could be retrieved in coded form or translated into narrative reports.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed low-cost system effectively manages cardiac catheterization data.
    • It provides immediate access to patient information for research and reporting.
    • The system requires minimal training and computer expertise, making it broadly applicable.
