Patent ID: 8688207

Claim:
A method for monitoring a patient and graphically representing ST-segment deviations derived from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from a plurality of leads, each ECG signal including a sequence of ST-segments between a QRS complex and a T wave, the method comprising: obtaining a first set of data corresponding to a baseline ST-segment deviation from an isoelectric value for each of the plurality of leads at a first point in time; obtaining a second set of data corresponding to a current ST-segment deviation, wherein the current ST-segment deviation comprises an ST-segment deviation from an isoelectric value for each of the plurality of leads at a second point in time; displaying a graph comprising: a first axis representing ST-segment deviation values; and a second axis representing the plurality of leads, wherein each of the plurality of leads is associated with a respective location along the second axis; displaying a first set of bar graphs representing the baseline ST-segment deviations, wherein each first bar graph is displayed with respect to one of the locations corresponding to a respective lead and is aligned relative to the first axis based on the baseline ST-segment deviation for the respective lead; and displaying a second set of bar graphs representing the current ST-segment deviations, wherein each second bar graph is displayed with respect to one of the locations corresponding to a respective lead and is aligned relative to the first axis based on the current ST-segment deviation for the respective lead; displaying a graphical indication in addition to the bar graphs to indicate whether the current ST-segment deviation for a particular lead is increasing or decreasing with respect to the baseline ST-segment deviation for that lead.
