Noninvasive diagnostic techniques in cardiology. 1983

M S Verani

Noninvasive cardiology has made notable progress in the last several years. A variety of sophisticated tests are now available to the clinician, providing both anatomic and physiologic information. The result has been an improvement of the level of diagnostic accuracy, which in a final analysis translates into better patient care. Newer tests such as cardiac CAT scan and nuclear magnetic resonance, using incredibly advanced technologies, continue to be investigated and almost certainly will play an important role in cardiovascular diagnosis in year to come.

D004562	Electrocardiography	Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.	12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
