Abstract :
In patients with congestive heart failure, large timing errors may be present when the quantification of regional wall synchrony is assessed. An iterative program based on reverse Polish notation is used to test the robustness of the degree of asynchrony derived from an individual segment analysis, this program may be seen as the preprocessor able to feed many covariates to an adequate statistical package.
