Remarkable New Machine Offers Help In Study Of Heart Diseases
By JAMES DOYLE
United Press International
PORTLAND (UPD I watched
my heart beat, in the form of a
' wavy green line on a screen, go
ing 60 times its normal speed in
a demonstration of remarkable
new equipment for the study of
Heart disease.
Doctors working with the equip
ment believe it is the most signm-
cant step in research of the heart
in recent medical history.
The green line formed on an
oscilloscope screen and then
danced and 'jiggled for 10 min-
utes. It represented a 10-hour
chart of my heart action during
part of a normal work day and
hours alter work.
A 10 - hour electrocardiogram
(EKG) during periods of normal
activity had never been possible
before the development of the
portable electrocardiocordcr.
The recorder is carried over
the shoulder like a camera case
with electrodes attached to the
chest while a tape inside moves
slowly, noting beat by - beat the
heart's changes and damage if
any. But, by means of a "rapid

Set Showdown
On Integration
WHAT IT MEANS

The strident tone of Gov.
George Wallace's executive order
No. 10 Monday apparently was
the thing that convinced the Jus
tice Department that he was de
termined to force another show
down over court-ordered public
school integration.
Wallace, who often gets in his
best work between the hours of
4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., handed
down executive order 10 and two
others like it at 5:30 a.m. Mo
bile, Birmingham and Tuskegcc
school officials, parents and
pupils were still abed. If they
had dreamed of a peaceful re
sumption of school work, the
dream was shattered soon after
they woke mx
It wasn't long, however, before
the optimism changed to gloom
a oiiwt oi Wallace's orders
spread by word of mouth. Then

Within minutes the telephone

Within hours all five lederal

up on an electronic scanner to
GO times its normal rate.
Along with the visible electro
cardiographic imnulsc, an audio
signal is emitted which sounds
like a car in low gear until the
heart activity speeds up. Then it
sounds like that far turn during
the Indianapolis '500'.
The equipment is used for pre
liminary analysis. A more detail
ed examination is made on a
third unit of the equipment.
The equipment is at Portland's
St. Vincent Hospital in a new de
partment called a Cardiac Tele
metry Station. II is the first such
station on the West Coast, and
one of the first in the world. It
was opened July 17 under the di
rection of Dr. Herbert J. Scmler,
a cardiologist on the hospital
staff, and a former Mayo Clinic
physician.
Dr. Sender says the equipment
here is being used primarily for
research until more is known
about it.
To demonstrate how research of
(his nature is done, Dr. Scmler
attached the recorder to me for
a 10-hour period and acquired a
more complete record of my heart
than has ever been obtained in
any previous examination.

where cardiac telemetry is known
to be used for monitoring the
heart action of astronauts in or

corder 1 jotted down on a "diary"
what I did and at what time.
This would be matched later with
the heart action as recorded on
the tape.
The wavy green line 1 watched
looked like a sharo -peaked moun
tain with a nearly level valley
floor beside it. One beat after an
other was superimposed at high
speed. When one of the beats, or
"mountains," jumped outside the
line of supcrimposition. Dr. Scm
ler could note its formation and
the time it occurred so that it
could be matched with my diary
to see what eaused.it.
While my own heart appeared

turned up abnormalities in per

any heart trouble.
Frequently, lie said, a person

is taken, with the person at rest
or inactive, there is no evidence
of heart damage.
The standard equipment which
has been In u.-e lor many years
is functional only when (lie pa
tient is at rol. However, heart
trouble may show up mainly dur
ing periods of activity or stress.
' "We could never follow any
one's heart actum for 10 hours a
day unions we had a finger on
their pulse all that time." Dr.
Sender said,
"With the new Instruments, it is
now possible. We think this is go
ing to have a tremendous impact
on the nation's health."
By "we" he meant himself and
his two assistants, Dr. Robert
Gustafson, resident at St. Vincent
Hospital, and Dr. Charles Nor
land of the U.S. Public Health
Service. All three men are work
ing on a voluntary basis, with
.support for the project derived in
part from the Frank R. Alenne
research fund of St. Vincent Hos
pital and the Oregon Heart As
sociation, plus voluntary contribu
tions. The purpose now is to gather
a reliable library of heart charts
and histories. The next step, and
the one to which the station is
gradually being directed, is to use
the cardiocorder as a diagnostic
tuul.
"We are getting useful data,"
Dr. Scmler said, "but it has to
lie carefully evaluated first prior
to its future use in clinical mcdi-
; cine."
, He wants completely analyzed
(file of healthy, and in some in
stances unhealthy, hearts before
the recorder is put into clinical
use. In time it will fulfill its func
tion of finding coronary disease
while it is treatable.
