The authors describe a computer system for the analysis of ventricular arrhythmias and its use in the evaluation of anti-arrhythmic drugs. Provided the arrhythmia is stable, this method allows an estimation of the onset and duration of action of the drug and gives guidelines for the choice of an appropriate drug regimen. Using this system, a comparison can be made between different drugs based on quantification of their efficacy.
