Proposal for a computerized record of ergometric tests

A codified approach to the collection of data obtained from an ergometric test is proposed and the need for such a codification, arising from the necessity to check and organise data collected during clinical examinations, is discussed. Practical questions regarding the chosen model are also discussed. The essential feature is a hierarchy of data enabling information to be represented generally and in detail, a modular structure, in other words, whose basic element is simplicity of compilation and codification.
