                      COMPUTERS IN CARDIOLOGY

               London, England, 5-8 September 1993
         Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine
         ----------------------------------------------------

The 20th meeting of Computers in Cardiology will be held at Imperial
College, London, on 5-8 September 1993. This international conference,
which has a well-established tradition of presenting interdisciplinary
research and clinical applications, will continue to focus on problems
and progress in applying computer technology to clinical cardiology
and cardiovascular research. This year's meeting is being co-hosted
by the Centre for Biological and Medical Systems at Imperial College
and will be held on campus.

CALL FOR PAPERS

This year's conference is soliciting papers which report recent
developments in the broad area of computer applications to cardiovascular
research, diagnosis and therapy. Papers accepted at the conference will
be published in the Conference Proceedings, by the IEEE and will be
mailed to all participants following the conference. The following
subject areas are of special interest:

o  Physiological monitoring and intensive care
o  ECG signal processing
   Diagnostic ECG, exercise testing, surface mapping, arrhythmia analysis
   Neural networks
o  Clinical electrophysiology
   Data acquisition and display, interpretation, therapeutic approaches
o  Physiological modelling and simulation
o  Cardiovascular imaging
   Echocardiography, digital angiography, MRI, nuclear cardiology
o  Mechanical properties of the cardiovascular system
   Wall motion, coronary artery measurements, ventricular function,
   cardiac catheterization
o  Implantable cardiovascular devices
   Pacemakers, deffibrilators, cardioverters, drug delivery systems,
   cardiac assist devices
o  Artificial Intelligence and Medical Informatics
   Clinical databases, LAN/WAN/PACS, medical decision-making, CAI
o  Higher technology and biomaterials


ABSTRACTS

Abstracts of papers submitted for consideration should be written in
English and sent to the address given below, before May 1, 1993. They will
be reviewed and notification of acceptance for presentation will be sent
July 1, 1993. A Programme Book containing all abstracts will be provided
for all participants at the Conference.

Papers may be submitted on MS-DOS compatible discs, which may be requested
from the 1993 CinC Secretariat, containing a special programme. However,
if is necessary to submit an abstract on paper, you must use the pre-
printed Abstract Submission Form. If an abstract submitted on paper is
accepted for presentation, the authors will required to pay an abstract
processing fee of 20 pounds in addition to the registration fee.

MANUSCRIPTS

Presenters are required to supply a camera-ready manuscript at the
conference for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. These papers
are limited in length to four pages.

REGISTRATION

To take advantage of the "Early Bird" full conference registration rate
of 250 pounds, registration forms with payment must be received by 1st
August 1993. Thereafter, the registration fee will be 350 pounds.
