Abstract:
A method for synthesizing a 12-lead electrocardiograph utilizing fewer than the 12 leads provided by a full electrode set, said method comprising the steps of:attaching a subset of the full electrode set to a patient;identifying a subset of 12-lead electrocardiograph leads formed by said attached subset of the full electrode set;in response to said identified subset of 12-lead electrocardiograph leads, recalling a synthesis matrix;in response to said recalled synthesis matrix, recalling an accuracy factor associated with said recalled synthesis matrix; andsynthesizing one or more 12-lead electrocardiograph leads by applying said recalled synthesis matrix and said recalled accuracy factor associated with said recalled synthesis matrix to said identified subset of 12-lead electrocardiograph leads formed by said attached subset of the full electrode set.
