Research Abstract	Basing on the method of computer graphic electrocardiogram (CGECG: computer graphic electrocardiography) developed and established in 1986 in our laboratory, further clinical application of the CGECG to patients with such various kinds of cardiovascular diseases as right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), angina pectoris, myocardial infarction (MI), incomplete rigth bundle branch block (IRBBB), complete rigth bundle branch block (CRBBB), complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB), left anterior hemiblock, W-P-W syndrome, arrhythmias, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and digitalization. The results obtained from these patients showed specific and character-istic color patterns and potential distributions, indicating that the newly devised CGECG would be very helpful and useful for instantaneous recognition and detection of cardiovascular diseases and their treatments in daily clinical practice.
