✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a program written for a Texas Instruments TI-59 programmable calculator equipped with "Texas Instruments Thermal Printer PC-lOOc", for estimation of severity in valvular stenosis. The major constraint imposed on the program was that it should be operable by a physician, nurse, or technician with previous computer experience. The program uses the hydraulic Gorlin and Gorlin formula for the valve areas calculation and a typical run is presented.
