Title: Method and apparatus for rapid interpretive analysis of electrocardiographic waveforms
Inventor: COCHRAN ROBERT G
IPC: A61B5/366
Filed: 2006-05-15
Abstract: A method for analyzing a subject-visit group of ECG waveforms captured digitally on an electrocardiograph machine, on a Holter monitor device or digitized from paper electrocardiograms. A cardiologist selects a subject-visit group from a number of subject-visit groups, and each ECG waveform of the subject-visit group is scanned for artifact. Those ECG waveforms containing artifact are annotated appropriately. A determination is made if measurement calipers are present in each ECG waveform, measurement calipers are added to ECG waveforms lacking measurement calipers, and a preliminary interpretation is assigned to each ECG waveform that lacks a preliminary interpretation. Each ECG waveform is assigned a grouping metric, and the ECG  waveforms are segregated according to their grouping metric for display and evaluation.
