Abstract
The heart disease screening system for school children in Japan is useful for early detection of children with heart disease, and for their daily health care. In particular, the heart disease screening system using an electrocardiogram and/or phonocardiogram is an excellent one for finding atrial septal defect, pulmonic stenosis, idiopathic cardiomyopathy and arrythmia.Recently, computer‐assisted electrocardiogram and phonocardiogram automatic analysis equipment for heart disease screening of school children has been developed, and a screening system using this equipment has been instituted.Keywords
