In the past three decades the cardiac catheter has provided ever increasing opportunities for the study of circulatory physiology (1,2). As experience was gained, additional procedures were introduced so that at present all chambers of the heart and most arterial and venous vessels are accessable for study. At the same time technological development of transducers, oximeters, densitometers and X-ray methods kept pace and provided more accurate measurements. With these developments, the collection and handling of reliable data out of the many signals became increasingly complex. The reduction of the raw data to relevant information and the derivation and interpretation of the calculated information became more and more a time-consuming and yet tedious effort.As data compression and complex calculations may be performed more rapidly and accurately by a computer than by the scientist, the introduction of a digital computer in the catheterization laboratory was only a matter of time. Since the original contribution by Henry (3) in 1968, reports have been published (4,5,6,7,8) about the application of the digital computer in the catheterization
