Claim Text:
1. A system for evaluating a patient, comprising: a first ECG-measuring system connected to the patient and configured to sense ECG information; a data-acquisition system interfaced to a vital sign-monitoring system connected to the patient, the vital-sign monitoring system configured to sense vital sign information during an electro-physiology (EP) procedure; a software system interfaced to both the ECG-measuring system and the data-acquisition system, the software system comprising: i) a first software interface configured to receive ECG information sensed by the ECG-measuring system; ii) a second software interface configured to receive vital sign information from the data-acquisition system, the vital sign information sensed by the vital-sign monitoring system; a iii) a database configured to store ECG information sensed from the patient before and after the EP procedure, and vital sign information sensed from the patient during the EP procedure; and iv) an algorithm configured to evaluate the EP procedure by collectively analyzing at least two of the following: ECG information sensed from the patient before the EP procedure, ECG information sensed from the patient after the EP procedure, and vital sign information sensed from the patient during the EP procedure, wherein the algorithm is configured to compare a first set of parameters extracted from ECG information sensed from the patient before the EP procedure to a second set of parameters extracted from ECG information sensed from the patient after the EP procedure and to determine the efficacy of the EP procedure, and wherein both the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters comprise arrhythmia information.
