Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to electrocardiogram (ECG) testing devices and systems. Background Technology

[0002] Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are common illnesses that seriously threaten human health, especially among middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years of age, characterized by high morbidity, high disability rates, and high mortality rates. Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, as a diagnostic and monitoring method for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, plays a crucial role in their diagnosis and treatment. In daily life, users primarily use ECG monitoring devices for ECG testing.

[0003] However, the large size of existing ECG monitoring devices results in poor user comfort when using them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an electrocardiogram (ECG) detection device and system, which can reduce the size of the ECG detection device. To achieve the above objective, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an electrocardiogram (ECG) detection device, comprising: electrodes and a circuit board. The electrodes are provided with a detection surface, a sensing chip, and an interface. The detection surface is used to sense the user's electrical charge; the sensing chip is used to convert the charge into a voltage signal and transmit the voltage signal to the circuit board through the interface; the circuit board is used to generate an ECG waveform based on the voltage signal and to supply power to the electrodes through the interface.

[0006] As can be seen, the ECG detection device provided in this application only needs to sense the user's charge through a single electrode's detection surface when performing ECG detection. The user's ECG waveform can then be obtained through subsequent processing of the sensed charge. By configuring only a single electrode, the size of the ECG detection device is reduced, improving its user comfort and convenience.

[0007] Optionally, the detection surface can be a dry electrode with tin plating or conductive silicone.

[0008] Optionally, the detection surface can be circular, rectangular, or arc-shaped.

[0009] For example, the detection surface can be a circular dry electrode with a diameter of 2 cm and a tin-plated surface.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the detection surface may include a first detection surface and a second detection surface. The first detection surface is used to sense a first charge of the user, and the second detection surface is used to sense a second charge of the user.

[0011] Understandably, detecting the user's charge through two separate detection surfaces during electrocardiogram (ECG) testing can improve the quality of the obtained ECG waveform. For example, by converting the human body charge sensed through the two detection surfaces of the electrodes into two voltage signals, and using the difference between the two to suppress interference, it is possible to detect ECG signals at a single location on the body, rather than being limited to ECG detection at two locations.

[0012] Optionally, the first detection surface and the second detection surface are identical in at least one of the following: material, area, or shape.

[0013] For example, both the first and second detection surfaces are circular dry electrodes with a diameter of 2 cm and tin-plated surfaces.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the electrode is further provided with a detection point, which is used to sense the first charge together with the first detection surface or to sense the second charge together with the second detection surface.

[0015] Understandably, when performing electrocardiogram (ECG) testing, detecting the user's charge using both the detection point and the detection surface can improve the quality of the ECG waveform obtained.

The differential analog in-phase input terminals of the sensor chip and the circuit board are connected through the first set of interfaces, and the reference ground of the sensor chip and the circuit board is connected through the second set of interfaces. Specifically, the sensor chip is used to: convert the first charge into a first voltage signal and transmit the first voltage signal to the circuit board through the first set of interfaces; convert the second charge into a second voltage signal and transmit the second voltage signal to the circuit board through the first set of interfaces.

[0022] For example, the sensor chip can convert a first charge into a first voltage signal A1 and a second charge into a second voltage signal A2, and then transmit the first voltage signal A1 and the second voltage signal A2 to the differential analog in-phase input terminal of the circuit board through a first set of interfaces.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the interface may further include a third set of interfaces, and the circuit board is specifically used for: generating an electrocardiogram waveform based on the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal, and supplying power to the electrodes through the third set of interfaces.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the electrode is further provided with a resistor, and the second detection surface and the sensing chip are connected through the resistor.

[0025] Optionally, the resistor can be a 0R ohm chip resistor.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the circuit board includes an analog-to-digital conversion module, a processing module, and a power supply module. The analog-to-digital conversion module converts the voltage signal into a digital signal; the processing module generates an electrocardiogram waveform based on the digital signal; and the power supply module supplies power to the electrodes through the interface.

[0027] Optionally, the processing module can be a microcontroller unit (MCU).

[0028] For example, the analog-to-digital conversion module can be an ADS1298 with a conversion bit depth of 24 bits, an internal gain of 12, and a sampling rate of 500 samples per second (SPS); the processing module can be an MSP430 microcontroller.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the circuit board is further provided with a display module for displaying the electrocardiogram waveform.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the processing module is further configured to package the digital signal, the circuit board is further provided with a communication module, and the ECG detection device further includes a host computer. The communication module is used to send the packaged digital signal to the host computer; the host computer is used to generate an ECG waveform based on the digital signal.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the host computer includes a communication module and a processing module. The communication module is used to receive the digital signal; the processing module is used to generate an electrocardiogram waveform based on the digital signal.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the host computer further includes a filtering module, which is used to filter the digital signal. Specifically, the filtering module is used to generate an electrocardiogram waveform based on the filtered digital signal.

[0033] Optionally, the filtering module may include at least one of a notch filter, a low-pass filter, a band-pass filter, or a high-pass filter.

[0034] For example, the filtering module may include a 50 Hz notch filter, a 100 Hz notch filter, a 0.1 Hz high-pass filter, and a 100 Hz low-pass filter.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the host computer further includes a display module for displaying the electrocardiogram waveform.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the electrode is further provided with a fixing module for fixing the electrode to the user's body surface.

[0037] Optionally, the fixing module is a bandage, a shell, or a structure.

[0038] For example, the electrodes and circuit board can be fixed to the monopolar limb lead V2 or V3 of the user being tested using medical tape.

[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] In this article, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0060] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification and drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects or to distinguish different treatments of the same object, rather than to describe a specific order of objects.

[0061] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, used in the description of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include other steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0062] It should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0063] In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0064] Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, as a diagnostic and monitoring method for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, plays a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. In daily life, users primarily use ECG monitoring devices for testing. However, existing ECG monitoring devices are relatively complex to operate, and users are prone to operational errors that can lead to inaccurate results.

[0065] Therefore, this application provides an electrocardiogram (ECG) detection device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electrocardiogram (ECG) detection device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 The electrocardiogram (ECG) detection device shown includes electrodes 100 and a circuit board 200.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, electrode 100 is provided with a detection surface 101, a sensing chip 102 and an interface 103.

[0067] The detection surface 101 is used to sense the user's charge. The detection surface 101 can be a dry electrode with a tin-plated surface or conductive silicone. The detection surface 101 can be circular, rectangular, or arc-shaped.

[0068] For example, the detection surface 101 can be a circular dry electrode with a diameter of 2 cm and a tin-plated surface.

[0069] The sensor chip 102 is used to convert charge into voltage signals and to transmit voltage signals to the circuit board through the interface 103.

[0070] The circuit board 200 is used to generate electrocardiogram waveforms based on voltage signals and to supply power to the electrodes via an interface.

[0071] It should be noted that the detection surface 101 and the sensing chip 102 can be disposed on the same side of the electrode 100. For example, both the detection surface 101 and the sensing chip 102 can be disposed on the opposite side of the electrode 100. Alternatively, the detection surface 101 and the sensing chip 102 can be disposed on different sides of the electrode 100. For example, the detection surface 101 can be disposed on the front side of the electrode 100, and the sensing chip 102 can be disposed on the opposite side of the electrode 100. This application does not limit this specific arrangement.

[0072] As can be seen, the ECG detection device provided in this application only needs to sense the user's charge through a single electrode's detection surface when performing ECG detection. The user's ECG waveform can then be obtained through subsequent processing of the sensed charge. By configuring only a single electrode, the size of the ECG detection device is reduced, improving its user comfort and convenience.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in another possible implementation, the electrode 100 may be provided with a first detection surface 1011, a second detection surface 1012, a sensor chip 102, a first set of interfaces 1031, a second set of interfaces 1032 and a third set of interfaces 1033.

[0074] The first detection surface 1011 is used to sense the user's first charge. The first detection surface 1011 is disposed on the front side of the electrode 100, and the first detection surface and the sensing chip 102 (the pins of the sensing chip 102) are connected through the first via 104.

[0075] The first detection surface 1011 can be a dry electrode with tin plating or conductive silicone. The first detection surface 1011 can be circular, rectangular or arc-shaped.

[0076] The second detection surface 1012 is used to sense the user's second charge. The second detection surface 1012 is disposed on the opposite side of the electrode 100, and the second detection surface 1012 and the sensing chip 102 (the pins of the sensing chip 102) are connected through a resistor 105. For example, the second detection surface 1012 and the sensing chip 102 can be connected through an OR surface mount resistor 105.

[0077] The second detection surface 1012 can be a dry electrode with tin plating or conductive silicone. The second detection surface 1012 can be circular, rectangular or arc-shaped.

[0078] Optionally, the first detection surface 1011 may be the same as at least one of the material, area, or shape of the second detection surface 1012. For example, the first detection surface 1011 may be exactly the same as the material, area, and shape of the second detection surface 1012.

[0079] For example, the first detection surface 1011 and the second detection surface 1012 can both be circular with a diameter of 2 cm and tin-plated dry electrodes.

[0080] The sensor chip 102 is disposed on the reverse side of the electrode 100. The sensor chip 102 and the circuit board 200 (the differential analog in-phase input terminal of the circuit board 200) are connected through the first set of interfaces 1031. The sensor chip 102 and the circuit board 200 (the reference ground of the circuit board 200) are connected through the second set of interfaces 1032. The sensor chip 102 and the circuit board 200 (the power supply terminal of the circuit board 200) are connected through the third set of interfaces 1032.

[0081] The sensor chip 102 is used to convert a first charge into a first voltage signal (A1), convert a second charge into a second voltage signal (A2), and transmit the first voltage signal (A1) and the second voltage signal (A2) to the circuit board 200 through the first set of interfaces 1031.

[0082] Optionally, the first set of interfaces 1031, the second set of interfaces 1032 and the third set of interfaces 1033 can be soldered with pin headers (90-degree bent pin headers), and the circuit board 200 can be soldered with female headers at the corresponding positions where it connects to the electrode 100. The electrode 100 and the circuit board 200 can be securely connected through the pin headers and female headers.

[0083] Optionally, the substrate 106 of the electrode 100 can be an epoxy board (FR-4) or rolled annealed (RA) & electrolytic (ED) copper.

[0084] Understandably, detecting the user's charge using two separate detection surfaces during electrocardiogram (ECG) testing can improve the accuracy of the test.

[0085] It should be noted that the user can disconnect the connection between the second detection surface 1012 on the reverse side of the electrode 100 and the sensing chip 102 by removing the resistor 105 (OR chip resistor) on the reverse side of the electrode 100, so that the electrode 100 can sense the user's charge only through the first detection surface 1011.

[0086] Reference Figure 3 ,like Figure 4 As shown, in another possible implementation, electrode 100 may also be provided with a detection point 107.

[0087] The detection point 107 is used to sense the first charge together with the first detection surface 1011 or to sense the second charge together with the second detection surface 1012.

[0088] The detection point 107 can be a dry electrode with a tin-plated surface. The detection point 107 can be circular.

[0089] For example, a detection point 107 can be set at a position 1 mm away from the first detection surface 1011 of the electrode 100. The detection point 107 is a dry electrode with tin-plated surface and is circular in shape with a diameter of 3 mm. The detection point 107 is connected to the second detection surface 1012 of the electrode 100 through the second via 108. The electrode 100 senses the user's first charge through the first detection surface 1011 and senses the user's second charge through the second detection surface 1012 and the detection point 107.

[0090] In one possible implementation, the electrode 100 may also be provided with a fixing module for fixing the electrode 100 to the user's body surface.

[0091] Alternatively, the fixing module can be a bandage, a shell, or a structure.

[0092] like Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the circuit board 200 may be provided with an analog-to-digital conversion module 201, a processing module 202, and a power supply module 203.

[0093] The analog-to-digital converter module 201 is used to convert voltage signals into digital signals. For example, the analog-to-digital converter module 201 can convert a first voltage signal A1 into a first digital signal D1 and a second voltage signal into a second digital signal D2.

[0094] This application does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the analog-to-digital conversion module 201. For example, the analog-to-digital conversion module can be an ADS1298 with a conversion bit depth of 24 bits, an internal gain of 12, and a sampling rate of 500 SPS.

[0095] The processing module 202 is used to generate an electrocardiogram waveform based on the aforementioned digital signals. For example, the processing module 202 can perform subsequent processing (such as filtering) on ​​the first digital signal D1 to obtain signal P1, perform subsequent processing on the second digital signal D2 to obtain signal P2, and perform differential processing on signals P1 and P2 to obtain the electrocardiogram waveform.

[0096] This application does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the processing module 202. For example, the processing module 202 can be a MUC, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a system on chip (SoC), a central processor (CPU), a network processor (NP), a digital signal processor (DSP), or a programmable logic device (PLD).

[0097] For example, the processing module 202 can be an MSP430 microcontroller.

[0098] The power module 203 is used to supply power to the electrode 100 through the interface 103. For example, the power module 203 can supply power to the electrode 100 (sensor chip 102) through the third set of interfaces 1032.

[0099] like Figure 6 As shown, in one possible implementation, the analog-to-digital converter module 201 may include differential analog non-inverting input terminals (IN1P and IN2P) and differential analog inverting input terminals (IN1N and IN2N), wherein the differential analog inverting input terminals (IN1N and IN2N) are connected to the reference ground of the circuit board 200.

[0100] The sensor chip 102 can be connected to the differential analog in-phase input terminal through the first interface 1031 to transmit voltage signals to the analog-to-digital converter module 201, connected to the reference ground of the circuit board 200 through the second interface 1032, and connected to the power module 203 of the circuit board 200 through the third interface 1033.

[0101] For example, the sensor chip 102 can transmit a first voltage signal (A1) to the analog-to-digital converter module 201 through the differential analog non-inverting input terminal IN1P, and a second voltage signal (A2) to the analog-to-digital converter module 201 through the differential analog non-inverting input terminal IN2P.

[0102] Optionally, the circuit board 200 may also be provided with a display module 204, which is used to display electrocardiogram waveforms.

[0103] In one possible implementation, the processing module 202 is further configured to package the aforementioned digital signals (first digital signal D1 and second digital signal D2). The ECG detection device may also include a host computer 300, and the circuit board 200 may also be equipped with a communication module 205.

[0104] The communication module 205 can communicate with other devices via a communication network. For example, it can send packaged digital signals to the host computer 300 via the communication network.

[0105] The aforementioned communication networks can be Ethernet, radio access network (RAN), wireless local area networks (WLAN), Bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), frequency modulation (FM), near field communication (NFC), infrared (IR), etc.

[0106] This application does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the communication module 205. For example, the communication module 205 can be a Bluetooth module.

[0107] The host computer 300 is used to generate electrocardiogram waveforms based on the packaged digital signals.

[0108] This application does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the host computer 300. For example, the host computer 300 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, in-vehicle equipment, laptop computer, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, personal digital assistant (PDA), or other devices.

[0109] like Figure 7 As shown, in one possible implementation, the host computer 300 may include a communication module 301 and a processing module 302.

[0110] The communication module 301 is used to receive the digital signals after they have been packaged and processed.

[0111] This application does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the communication module 301. For example, the communication module 301 can be a serial communication module.

[0112] Optionally, the communication module 301 can also be used to locate available communication interfaces (such as serial ports), control the connection and disconnection of the communication interfaces, and send commands or data to the circuit board 200. For example, the communication module 301 can send a start detection command to the circuit board 200 to instruct the circuit board 200 to start performing ECG detection on the user. As another example, the communication module 301 can send a stop detection command to the circuit board 200 to instruct the circuit board 200 to stop performing ECG detection on the user.

[0113] The processing module 302 is used to generate electrocardiogram waveforms based on digital signals.

[0114] For example, the processing module 302 can first read the packaged digital signal data, then identify the parsing flags to perform corresponding amplitude conversion and save the original data, and perform subsequent processing on the original data (such as notch filtering, low-pass filtering, high-pass filtering, differential processing, etc.) to generate an electrocardiogram waveform.

[0115] In one possible implementation, the host computer 300 further includes a filtering module 303, which is used to filter the packaged digital signal data so that the processing module 302 can generate an electrocardiogram waveform based on the filtered digital signal.

[0116] Optionally, the filtering module 303 may include at least one of a notch filter, a low-pass filter, a band-pass filter, or a high-pass filter. For example, the filtering module may include a 50Hz notch filter, a 100Hz notch filter, a 0.1Hz high-pass filter, and a 100Hz low-pass filter.

[0117] In one possible implementation, the host computer 300 may further include a display module 304. The display module 304 is used to display the aforementioned electrocardiogram waveform.

[0118] This application does not impose any restrictions on the fixing method of the electrocardiogram detection device, electrode 100 and circuit board 200.

[0119] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the ECG monitoring device can be fixed to the unipolar limb lead V2 or V3 of the user being tested using medical tape. A knitted elastic bandage can be used as an auxiliary tool to secure the ECG monitoring device.

[0120] This application also provides an electrocardiogram (ECG) detection system. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the electrocardiogram (ECG) detection system includes an ECG detection device and a host computer. The ECG detection device includes electrodes and a circuit board.

[0121] Figure 10 An electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform is provided as an embodiment of this application. This ECG waveform is obtained through... Figure 3 The first detection surface 1011 and the second detection surface 1012 in the electrode 100 shown respectively sense the charge of the user being measured to obtain a first charge and a second charge. The sensing chip 102 in the electrode 100 converts the first charge into a first voltage signal A1 and the second charge into a second voltage signal A2. The first voltage signal A1 and the second voltage signal A2 are transmitted to the first set of interfaces 1301. Figure 5 In the analog-to-digital conversion module 201 of the circuit board 200 shown, the first voltage signal A1 is converted into a first digital signal D1, and the second voltage signal is converted into a second digital signal D2. The processing module 202 of the circuit board 200 packages the first digital signal D1 and the second digital signal D2 and transmits them to the host computer via the communication module 205. The host computer uses mathematical software (MATLAB) to perform 50 Hz notch filtering, 100 Hz notch filtering, 0.1 Hz high-pass filtering, and 100 Hz low-pass filtering. CH1 is signal P1 obtained by further processing (analog-to-digital conversion, packaging, filtering, etc.) the charge sensed by the first detection surface 1011, and CH2 is signal P2 obtained by further processing the charge sensed by the second detection surface 1012. CH1-CH2 is the ECG waveform obtained by differentiating P1 and P2. Figure 10 The R wave is clearly visible.

[0122] Figure 11 Another electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform provided in this application embodiment is obtained solely through... Figure 3 The first detection surface 1011 in the electrode 100 shown senses the charge of the user being measured to obtain a first charge. The sensing chip 102 in the electrode 100 converts the first charge into a first voltage signal A1, which is transmitted to the first interface 1301. Figure 5 In the analog-to-digital conversion module 201 of the circuit board 200 shown, the first voltage signal A1 is converted into a first digital signal D1. The processing module 202 of the circuit board 200 packages and processes the first digital signal D1 and transmits it to the host computer via the communication module 205. The host computer uses MATLAB to perform 50 Hz notch filtering, 100 Hz notch filtering, 0.1 Hz high-pass filtering, and 100 Hz low-pass filtering to obtain the signal. CH1 is the signal P1 obtained by further processing the charge sensed by the first detection surface 1011.

[0123] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be seen that, although Figure 11 A clear R wave is visible, but by comparison... Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be seen that the quality of the ECG waveform obtained by using the first detection surface 1011 and the second detection surface 1012 together for ECG detection is better than that obtained by using only the first detection surface 1011 for ECG detection. That is, during ECG detection, detecting the user's charge through two detection surfaces can achieve interference suppression, thereby improving the quality of the ECG waveform obtained.

[0124] Figure 12 This application provides another type of electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform, which is obtained through... Figure 4 The electrode 100 shown has a first detection surface 1011 that senses user charge to obtain a first charge, and a second detection surface 1012 and a detection point 107 that together sense user charge to obtain a second charge. The sensor chip 102 converts the first charge into a first voltage signal A1 and the second charge into a second voltage signal A2, and transmits the first voltage signal A1 and the second voltage signal A2 through the first interface 1301 to... Figure 5 The circuit board 200 shown has an analog-to-digital conversion module 201. The module converts the first voltage signal A1 into a first digital signal D1 and the second voltage signal into a second digital signal D2. The processing module 202 of the circuit board 200 packages the first digital signal D1 and the second digital signal D2, then transmits them to the host computer via the communication module 205. The host computer uses MATLAB to perform 50 Hz notch filtering, 100 Hz notch filtering, 0.1 Hz high-pass filtering, and 100 Hz low-pass filtering to obtain the signal. CH1 is signal P1 obtained by further processing the charge sensed by the first detection surface 1011, and CH2 is signal P2 obtained by further processing the charge sensed by the second detection surface 1012 and detection point 107. CH1-CH2 is the ECG waveform obtained by differentially analyzing P1 and P2. Figure 12 The R and T waves are clearly visible.

[0125] Figure 13 This application provides another electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform, which is obtained by sensing the user's charge through the second detection surface 1012 and the detection point 107 while the user rotates their body at a constant speed. The sensor chip 102 converts the first charge into a first voltage signal A1 and the second charge into a second voltage signal A2, and transmits the first voltage signal A1 and the second voltage signal A2 through the first interface 1301 to... Figure 5The circuit board 200 shown contains an analog-to-digital conversion module 201. The module 201 converts the first voltage signal A1 into a first digital signal D1 and the second voltage signal into a second digital signal D2. The processing module 202 of the circuit board 200 packages the first digital signal D1 and the second digital signal D2, then transmits them to the host computer via the communication module 205. The host computer uses MATLAB to perform 50 Hz notch filtering, 100 Hz notch filtering, 0.1 Hz high-pass filtering, and 100 Hz low-pass filtering on the signal. CH1 is signal P1 obtained by further processing the charge sensed by the first detection surface 1011, and CH2 is signal P2 obtained by further processing the charge sensed by the second detection surface 1012 and the detection point 107. CH1-CH2 is the electrocardiogram waveform obtained by differentiating P1 and P2.

[0126] pass Figure 13 It is evident that the signals displayed by CH1 and CH2 are affected by motion interference, exhibiting significant fluctuations. However, the baseline of the ECG waveforms after differential analysis between the two is stable, and clear R and T waves are visible. Therefore, it can be concluded that the embodiments of this application are included.
