Visual Heart Checks
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Coppripht) LONDON. Instant visual checks on a patient’s heart condition with specialists, by telephone, will soon be possible in Britain. An electrocardigram has been transmitted by public telephone line from a patient in the operating theatre of a London hospital to an exhibition at Westminster. There Professor J. Payne, director of the research department of anaesthetics at the Royal College of Surgeons, saw the amplified reading displayed on two oscilloscopes and printed as a graph. This development will enable doctors to obtain, within a few minutes, in any part of Britain, the opinion of a specialist on a given heart condition.
