Abstract
The cardiological computer network in The Netherlands is described in this chapter. It consists basically of a local area network in each of the 8 participating university cardiological departments.
These local area networks are connected together in a ‘star’format with a centre point in the ICIN location. The network is used for research studies, for example, the REGRESS study, where the effects of a cholesterol lowering drug are investigated. The data is stored in a relational database system. Results of this study will be presented later.
