[0015] In order to make the technical means and advantages of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described in this specification are merely for the purpose of illustrating the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
[0016] The exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis method provided herein may be applied to a terminal, a server, or an interactive system including a terminal and a server and implemented through interaction between the terminal and the server, but is not limited thereto. The terminal may be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, electrocardiogram monitoring devices, and portable wearable devices. The server may be an independent server or a cluster server consisting of multiple servers.
[0017] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, an exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis method is provided, and the application of the method to a server is described as an example, specifically including the following steps:
[0018] In S102, exercise stress electrocardiogram data is acquired.
[0019] Exercise stress electrocardiogram data is electrocardiogram data collected during weight-bearing exercise electrocardiogram testing. Weight-bearing exercise electrocardiogram testing is an electrocardiogram testing method in which a subject's heart is stressed through a certain amount of exercise, electrocardiogram data is collected, and the subject's cardiac health is analyzed based on the collected electrocardiogram data. This method is widely used in the detection of heart disease and circulatory disease. For example, the exercise stress electrocardiogram data may be used to analyze the presence or absence of myocardial ischemia in a subject and the severity of myocardial ischemia.
[0020] In some embodiments, the exercise electrocardiogram detection includes multiple stages, specifically, three stages, such as a rest stage, an exercise stage, and a recovery stage, and the exercise electrocardiogram data includes electrocardiogram data for each stage. It is understood that the stage division is not limited thereto and may be specifically divided according to actual circumstances.
[0021] In some embodiments, during exercise electrocardiogram testing, ten electrode sheets are distributed across the chest and limbs of the human body to form twelve electrocardiogram leads (e.g., V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, I, II, III, aVL, aVF, and aVR), and twelve sets of electrocardiogram data are output correspondingly, thereby obtaining exercise electrocardiogram data corresponding to the entire process of exercise electrocardiogram testing. The ten electrode sheets are merely an example, and the number of electrode sheets is not limited. Specifically, it is possible to dynamically determine, for example, whether to use more or fewer electrode sheets according to actual needs.
[0022] In S104, the high frequency components of the QRS complex in the exercise stress electrocardiogram data are analyzed to obtain a curve of the high frequency QRS waveform.
[0023] The exercise ECG data includes multiple QRS complexes, each consisting of a Q wave, an R wave, and an S wave, reflecting the depolarization potential and time changes of the left and right ventricles. The first descending wave is the Q wave, the first ascending wave is the R wave, and the second descending wave is the S wave. The high-frequency component of the QRS complex refers to the high-frequency band in the QRS complex with a frequency of 100 Hz or higher, specifically, the high-frequency band in the QRS complex with a frequency between 150 Hz and 250 Hz. The high-frequency QRS waveform curve represents the time-dependent change in the RMS voltage of the high-frequency component of the subject's QRS complex throughout the entire exercise ECG testing process (e.g., including the resting phase, exercise phase, and recovery phase), i.e., it embodies the energy change trend throughout the entire exercise ECG testing process. The curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform is represented by a high-frequency QRS waveform diagram, in which the abscissa is the measurement time of the weight exercise ECG measurement process, i.e., the time corresponding to the signal collection time, in units of min (minutes), and the ordinate is the RMS voltage, in units of μV (microvolts), which can also be understood as strength or amplitude.
[0024] Specifically, the exercise stress electrocardiogram data includes an ECG (electrocardiogram) corresponding to each heartbeat of the subject throughout the entire process of the exercise electrocardiogram test, and the ECG includes a QRS complex. The exercise stress electrocardiogram data is divided into multiple ECG data subsets according to a time series and a preset shift step size using a window function, and each ECG data subset includes an ECG corresponding to multiple heartbeats. The ECG or QRS complexes corresponding to the multiple heartbeats included in each ECG data subset are sequentially aligned, averaged, and bandpass filtered to obtain the corresponding high-frequency QRS complex (the high-frequency band of the QRS complex). The root mean square of the high-frequency QRS complex is then calculated to obtain the corresponding RMS voltage as the RMS voltage / magnitude / amplitude corresponding to the ECG data subset. The RMS voltage / magnitude / amplitude corresponding to each ECG data subset are then subjected to curve smoothing processing according to the time series to obtain a high-frequency QRS waveform curve corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data.
[0025] It is understood that the window width of the window function and the preset shift step size can be set according to actual needs. For example, the window width can be set to 10 seconds, and the preset shift step size can be set to 10 seconds or one cardiac cycle. "One cardiac cycle" refers to the time interval between two adjacent cardiac cycles and is not specifically limited here. "In chronological order" refers to the order according to the signal acquisition time or the measurement time during weight exercise electrocardiography.
[0026] In some embodiments, the exercise stress electrocardiogram data includes electrocardiogram data corresponding to at least one electrocardiogram lead, and an analysis of the high-frequency components of the QRS complex is performed for the electrocardiogram data corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead to obtain a high-frequency QRS waveform curve corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. Based on this, the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is calculated, and a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data is then determined.
[0027] In S106, a first reference point and a second reference point are selected from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform.
[0028] Selecting the first and second reference points from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform includes selecting the start and end points of a motor phase from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform as the first and second reference points, respectively; or selecting a curve of a candidate waveform from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform, and selecting a point on the curve of the candidate waveform where the RMS voltage is maximum as the first reference point, and selecting a point on the curve of the candidate waveform where the RMS voltage after the first reference point is minimum as the second reference point; or selecting a curve of a candidate waveform from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform, and selecting a point on the curve of the candidate waveform where the RMS voltage is maximum as the first reference point, and selecting an end point of the motor phase as the second reference point.
[0029] The first and second reference points are used to determine the start and end points of the reference waveform curve on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, and calculate the area of the waveform drop region of the curve of the corresponding high-frequency QRS waveform based on the curve of the reference waveform. The time of the first reference point is earlier / shorter than the time of the second reference point, that is, the first reference point is located before the second reference point on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform.
[0030] Specifically, the start and end points of the motor phase are determined from the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, with the start point of the motor phase being the first reference point and the end point of the motor phase being the second reference point. Alternatively, a curve located within a predetermined time period from the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform is selected as the curve of the candidate waveform, and the point on the curve of the candidate waveform where the RMS voltage is maximum is selected as the first reference point, and the point on the curve of the candidate waveform after the first reference point where the RMS voltage is minimum is selected as the second reference point. Alternatively, the point on the curve of the candidate waveform where the RMS voltage is maximum is selected as the first reference point, and the end point of the motor phase is selected as the second reference point. It is understood that the preset time period may be set according to actual needs. For example, the start point of the preset time period may be set to a time 100 seconds away from the start point of the exercise phase in the rest phase, and the end point of the preset time period may be set to a time 20 seconds away from the end point of the exercise phase in the recovery phase. As an example, the time range corresponding to the exercise phase in the high frequency QRS waveform diagram is 3 to 9 minutes, and the preset time period may be set to "1 minute 20 seconds to 9 minutes 20 seconds," but this is not limited to this.
[0031] In this way, by selecting the first and second reference points that have reference value, the area of the waveform drop region that has reference value is determined based on the selected first and second reference points and the curve of the corresponding high-frequency QRS waveform, which contributes to improving the accuracy of identifying the health status of the heart.
[0032] In step S108, the area of the corresponding waveform drop region is determined based on the first reference point, the second reference point, and the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform.
[0033] The area of the waveform drop region includes the absolute drop area and / or the relative drop area for assessing the state of myocardial ischemia.
[0034] Specifically, a reference amplitude is determined based on the first reference point, the second reference point, and the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The closed region defined by the reference amplitude, the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, and the second reference point is determined as the waveform drop region, and the area of the waveform drop region is calculated to obtain the absolute drop area as the area of the waveform drop region of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. Alternatively, the closed region defined by the first reference point, the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, the second reference point, and the horizontal axis is determined as the reference region, and the ratio of the absolute drop area to the area of the reference region is calculated to obtain the relative drop area as the area of the waveform drop region of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. Alternatively, the absolute drop area and relative drop area calculated as above are used as the area of the waveform drop region of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The horizontal axis is the horizontal axis of the high-frequency QRS waveform diagram used to display the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, i.e., the reference axis on which the RMS voltage / amplitude is zero.
[0035] In some embodiments, a closed region defined by a reference amplitude, a first reference point, a second reference point, and a horizontal axis is determined as the reference region. The RMS voltage / amplitude of the first reference point may be determined as the reference amplitude, or the maximum value of the RMS voltage between the first reference point and the second reference point on the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform may be determined as the reference amplitude, but this is not limited thereto.
[0036] In some embodiments, when the first reference point is a point on the curve of the candidate waveform where the root mean square is maximum, the RMS voltage of the first reference point is determined as the reference amplitude. When the start point of the exercise phase is determined as the first reference point, the RMS voltage of the first reference point may be determined as the reference amplitude, or the maximum value of the RMS voltage on the curve of the candidate waveform may be determined as the reference amplitude.
[0037] In S110, a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data is determined based on the area of the waveform drop region.
[0038] The attention levels indicate different degrees of attention. The area of the waveform drop region can indicate different degrees of myocardial ischemia and different durations of myocardial ischemia, providing a reference for physicians when making diagnoses. For example, a larger area of the waveform drop region indicates a higher likelihood of myocardial ischemia. By setting a correspondingly higher attention level, physicians can accurately identify a subject's cardiac health status based on the attention level, the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, the area of the waveform drop region, etc., and can provide diagnostic and treatment advice based on clinical symptoms. It is understood that myocardial ischemia is a symptom or expression rather than a disease. For example, a subject experiencing myocardial ischemia does not necessarily indicate that they suffer from coronary heart disease or that a heart disease such as myocardial infarction will occur. Specifically, by determining a subject's cardiac health level based on the area of the waveform drop region of the high-frequency QRS waveform curve and setting an attention level corresponding to exercise stress ECG data that can be used as a physician's reference, physicians can refer to the attention level and provide further advice on testing, diagnosis, or treatment based on clinical symptoms.
[0039] In some embodiments, according to one or more embodiments of the present application, after determining the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to at least one electrocardiogram lead, a consideration level for the exercise stress electrocardiogram data is determined based on the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. For example, the consideration level for the exercise stress electrocardiogram data may be determined based on an area threshold interval in which the sum or average value of the areas of the waveform drop regions corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is located, or based on an area threshold interval in which the maximum value of the areas of the waveform drop regions corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is located, or based on the distribution of the areas of the waveform drop regions corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead in each predetermined area threshold interval. However, the area threshold interval may be set according to actual conditions.
[0040] In the above-mentioned exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis method, high-frequency component analysis is performed on the QRS complex in the exercise stress electrocardiogram data to obtain the corresponding high-frequency QRS waveform curve, and the area of the corresponding waveform descent region is determined based on the first and second reference points selected from the high-frequency QRS waveform curve and the high-frequency QRS waveform curve, and the level of consideration corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data that is of reference value to the physician is determined based on the area of the waveform descent region corresponding to the high-frequency QRS waveform curve, allowing the physician to accurately identify the cardiac health status of the subject while taking into account clinical symptoms, reducing the physician's subjectivity in identifying the cardiac health status and improving the accuracy of identifying the cardiac health status.
[0041] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region includes an absolute drop area, and S108 includes selecting a curve located between a first reference point and a second reference point from the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform as a curve of a reference waveform, determining a reference amplitude based on the curve of the reference waveform, and calculating the absolute drop area using a first function based on the reference amplitude and the curve of the reference waveform.
[0042] The absolute drop area refers to the area of the waveform drop area on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The first function calculates the area of the closed area defined by the reference amplitude and the curve of the reference waveform to obtain the absolute drop area, but is not limited thereto. If there are multiple closed areas defined by the reference amplitude and the curve of the reference waveform, only the area of each closed area located below the reference amplitude (where the RMS voltage at each point within the closed area is less than or equal to the reference amplitude) is calculated to obtain the absolute drop area.
[0043] Specifically, a curve located between a first reference point and a second reference point, which are the start and end points of the reference waveform curve, is selected from the high-frequency QRS waveform curve, and the reference waveform curve is obtained. The maximum value of the RMS voltage on the reference waveform curve or the RMS voltage at the start point is used as the reference amplitude. The closed region specified by the reference amplitude and the reference waveform curve is determined as the waveform descent region of the high-frequency QRS waveform curve, and the area of the waveform descent region is calculated using a first function to obtain the absolute descent area, which is then used as the area of the waveform descent region of the corresponding high-frequency QRS waveform curve. As an example, the area of the waveform drop region includes an absolute drop area. The area threshold section includes the absolute area threshold section. Four absolute area threshold sections, from the first absolute area threshold section to the fourth absolute area threshold section, are preset, with decreasing priority of attention. If the absolute drop area is located in the first absolute area threshold section, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level. If the absolute drop area is located in the second absolute area threshold section, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, and so on. The absolute drop area to be compared with the absolute area threshold section may be the sum or average value of the absolute drop areas corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead, or the maximum value of the absolute drop areas corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. If the absolute drop area to be compared is the average value, the absolute area threshold sections may be, for example, 8 or more, 5 or more but less than 8, 3 or more but less than 5, or less than 3, respectively. The number of absolute area threshold sections and the corresponding numerical values are merely examples and are not intended to be specific and limiting.
[0044] In the above embodiment, the curve of the reference waveform is determined based on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, the first reference point, and the second reference point, and the absolute drop area of the waveform drop region is calculated based on the curve of the reference waveform. The level of care that can be used as a reference for doctors is determined based on the absolute drop area, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying heart health conditions.
[0045] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region further includes a relative drop area, and S108 further includes calculating the reference area using a second function based on the curve of the reference waveform, and obtaining the relative drop area based on the absolute drop area and the reference area.
[0046] The relative drop area refers to the ratio of the area of the waveform drop region on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform to the corresponding reference area. The second function calculates the area of the closed region defined by the curve of the reference waveform and the horizontal axis to obtain the reference area, but is not limited thereto. Specifically, a reference waveform curve is selected on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform based on the first and second reference points. Then, the closed region defined by the curve of the reference waveform and the reference axis (i.e., the horizontal axis of the high-frequency QRS waveform) where the RMS voltage is zero is determined as the reference region. The area of the reference region is calculated using the second function to obtain the reference area. The relative drop area of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform is obtained by calculating the ratio between the absolute drop area and the reference area. The area of the waveform drop region is obtained based on the absolute drop area and the relative drop area of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform.
[0047] For example, the area of the waveform drop region may further include a relative drop area, and the area threshold interval may further include a relative area threshold interval. Four relative area threshold intervals, from the first relative area threshold interval to the fourth relative area threshold interval, are pre-set, with decreasing priority of attention. The corresponding consideration level is determined based on various combinations of the absolute area threshold interval in which the absolute drop area is located and the relative area threshold interval in which the relative drop area is located. For example, if the absolute drop area is located in the first absolute area threshold interval and the relative drop area is located in the first relative area threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the first level. However, if the absolute drop area is located in the first absolute area threshold interval and the relative drop area is located in the second relative area threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the second level. (Not all examples are given here.) Similarly, the relative drop area for comparison with the relative area threshold interval may be the sum, average, or maximum value of the relative drop areas corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. When the relative drop area for comparison is an average value, the relative area threshold ranges are, for example, 50% or more, 30% or more and less than 50%, 10% or more and less than 30%, and less than 10%, respectively. The number of relative area threshold ranges and the corresponding range values are merely examples and are not intended to be specifically limited.
[0048] In some embodiments, multiple area threshold intervals are predefined for the area of the waveform drop region. If the area of the waveform drop region includes an absolute drop area, each absolute area threshold interval is determined as the area threshold interval. However, if the area of the waveform drop region includes both an absolute drop area and a relative drop area, each area threshold interval and its corresponding consideration level are determined based on a combination of each absolute area threshold interval and a relative area threshold interval. For example, if a first area threshold interval includes a first absolute area threshold interval and a first relative area threshold interval, the corresponding consideration level is the first consideration level. If a second area threshold interval includes a first absolute area threshold interval and a second relative area threshold interval, or if a second absolute area threshold interval and a first relative area threshold interval, the corresponding consideration level is the second consideration level, and so on. Multiple area threshold intervals are possible, and not all are illustrated here. In this way, the corresponding consideration level can be determined based on the area of the waveform drop region of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform and the area threshold interval.
[0049] For example, if the area of the waveform drop region falls within a first area threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level; if the area of the waveform drop region falls within a second area threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, and so on. Similarly, the area of the waveform drop region to be compared with the area threshold interval may be the sum, average, or maximum value of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. Taking the average value as an example, the average value of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead includes the average value of the absolute drop area corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead and the average value of the relative drop area corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. Correspondingly, if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the absolute drop area corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead falls within a first absolute area threshold interval in the first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the relative drop area corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead falls within a first relative area threshold interval in the first area threshold interval, the area of the waveform drop region is determined to fall within the first area threshold interval. Similar situations apply, and not all examples are provided here.
[0050] In the above embodiment, by combining the relative drop area and absolute drop area determined by the curve of the reference waveform and the absolute drop area, a more worthy level of consideration can be provided for physician reference, and the accuracy of identifying cardiac health conditions can be further improved.
[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 2 provides a schematic diagram for calculating the area of a corresponding waveform drop region based on a high frequency QRS waveform diagram. As shown in Figure 2, the high frequency QRS waveform diagram displays a curve of a high frequency QRS waveform corresponding to ECG Lead III, where the abscissa is time in minutes and the ordinate is RMS voltage / amplitude in microvolts, and the time range corresponding to the exercise phase in the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform is 0 to 6 minutes. The start and end points of the exercise phase are selected as the first and second reference points, respectively; the RMS voltage of the first reference point is determined as the reference amplitude; the closed region specified by the reference amplitude, the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, and the second reference point is determined as the waveform descent region of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform; the area S1 of the waveform descent region is determined as the absolute descent area of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform; the closed region specified by the first reference point, the second reference point, the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, and the horizontal axis is determined as the reference region; the area S2 of the reference region is determined as the reference area; the ratio (S1 / S2) of the absolute descent area S1 to the reference area S2 is determined as the relative descent area of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform; and the absolute descent area and / or the relative descent area is the area of the waveform descent region of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform.
[0052] It can be understood that the schematic diagram of the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform and the calculation of the area of the waveform drop region shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example and is not intended to be specifically limited. For example, the first reference point, the second reference point, the reference amplitude, and the reference region may be selected by referring to the selection methods provided in one or more embodiments of the present application, and the area of the corresponding waveform drop region may be calculated.
[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, an exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis method is provided, which specifically includes the following steps: In S302, exercise stress electrocardiogram data is acquired. In S304, the high frequency components of the QRS complex in the exercise stress electrocardiogram data are analyzed to obtain a curve of the high frequency QRS waveform. In S306, the start point and end point of the movement phase are selected as the first reference point and the second reference point from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform, respectively. In S308, a candidate waveform curve is selected from the high frequency QRS waveform curves, and the point on the candidate waveform curve where the RMS voltage is maximum is selected as a first reference point, and the point after the first reference point where the RMS voltage is minimum is selected as a second reference point. In S310, a candidate waveform curve is selected from the high frequency QRS waveform curves, and a point on the candidate waveform curve where the RMS voltage is maximum is selected as a first reference point, and an end point of the exercise phase is selected as a second reference point. In S312, a curve located between the first reference point and the second reference point from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform is selected as a curve of the reference waveform. In S314, a reference amplitude is determined based on the curve of the reference waveform. In S316, an absolute drop area is calculated using a first function based on the curve of the reference amplitude and the reference waveform. In S318, a reference area is calculated using a second function based on the curve of the reference waveform. In S320, a relative drop area is obtained based on the absolute drop area and the reference area. In S322, a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data is determined based on the relative drop area and the absolute drop area.
[0054] In some embodiments, the exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis method further includes determining a reference index, including at least one of an amplitude drop relative value, a lead positive index, a positive location, and a waveform type, based on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. S110 includes determining a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data based on the area of the waveform drop region and the reference index.
[0055] The amplitude drop relative value evaluates changes in cardiac blood flow during human exercise and can be applied to assess myocardial ischemia. The amplitude drop relative value can indicate different degrees of myocardial ischemia, for example, a larger amplitude drop relative value indicates a higher likelihood of myocardial ischemia. The waveform type indicates the shape category to which the waveform change of the high-frequency QRS waveform curve belongs, and specifically indicates the overall change trend or the displayed shape of the high-frequency QRS waveform.
[0056] Specifically, based on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, at least one of the amplitude drop relative value, lead positive index, positive location, and waveform type is determined, and at least one of the amplitude drop relative value, lead positive index, positive location, and waveform type is taken into consideration on the area of the waveform drop region to determine the consideration level of the corresponding exercise stress electrocardiogram data.
[0057] In some embodiments, a curve located within a predetermined time period from the curves of the high-frequency QRS waveform is selected as a candidate waveform curve, the point where the RMS voltage of the candidate waveform curve is maximum is selected as a third reference point, and the point where the RMS voltage of the candidate waveform curve after the third reference point is minimum is selected as a fourth reference point, the absolute amplitude drop value is obtained from the difference between the RMS voltage of the third reference point and the RMS voltage of the fourth reference point, and the ratio of the absolute amplitude drop value to the RMS voltage of the third reference point is determined as the relative amplitude drop value, so that a more reference-worthy consideration level can be comprehensively determined by taking the relative amplitude drop value into consideration. The third and fourth reference points can be appropriately adjusted based on parameters such as the subject's age, height, and weight.
[0058] In some embodiments, in order to determine the consideration level after fully considering the amplitude drop relative value, multiple amplitude threshold ranges are pre-set for the amplitude drop relative value, and the specific evaluation logic is similar to that for the area of the waveform drop region, so it is omitted here. When determining the consideration level after fully considering the amplitude drop relative value, the corresponding consideration level is specifically determined based on each combination form between the amplitude drop relative value and other reference indicators (e.g., the area of the waveform drop region). The amplitude threshold ranges may be set according to actual conditions.
[0059] As an example of determining the consideration level by combining the amplitude drop relative value and the area of the waveform drop region, four amplitude threshold ranges, from a first amplitude threshold range to a fourth amplitude threshold range, are pre-set, with decreasing priority of attention. For example, for the ranges of 70% or more, 65% or more but less than 70%, 55% or more but less than 65%, and less than 55%, respectively, the consideration level is determined based on each combination of the area of the waveform drop region and the amplitude drop relative value. For example, if the area of the waveform drop region is in the first area threshold range and the amplitude drop relative value is in the first amplitude threshold range, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level. However, if the area of the waveform drop region is in the first area threshold range and the amplitude drop relative value is in the second amplitude threshold range, or if the area of the waveform drop region is in the second area threshold range and the amplitude drop relative value is in the first amplitude threshold range, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level. However, not all examples are given here. Similarly, the amplitude drop relative value for comparison with the amplitude threshold interval is the sum, average, or maximum of the amplitude drop relative values corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. The number of amplitude threshold intervals and the corresponding interval values are merely examples and are not intended to be specifically limiting.
[0060] In some embodiments, the amplitude drop absolute value and the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform are obtained, and then the lead positive index of the curve of the corresponding high frequency QRS waveform is determined as the lead positive index of the corresponding electrocardiogram lead based on the amplitude drop relative value and the amplitude drop absolute value, thereby taking the lead positive index into consideration and comprehensively determining a more reference-worthy consideration level.
[0061] In some embodiments, when the absolute amplitude drop value and the relative amplitude drop value of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform meet predetermined conditions, the lead positive indicator indicates that the corresponding electrocardiogram lead is positive. The predetermined conditions may be set according to the actual measurement situation, but can be appropriately adjusted based on factors such as the subject's age, sex, height, and weight. For example, the absolute amplitude drop value is greater than 1 uV and the relative amplitude drop value is greater than 50%, but this is not limited thereto. When the lead positive indicator corresponding to an electrocardiogram lead is positive, a warning color such as red or yellow is applied to the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform displayed on the corresponding high-frequency QRS waveform diagram, but this is not limited thereto.
[0062] In some embodiments, a positive lead positive indicator indicates an abnormal change in blood flow in the myocardium corresponding to the corresponding electrocardiogram lead, and the more electrocardiogram leads with positive lead positive indicators, the greater the possibility of a cardiac problem. Thus, a more valuable level of concern for physicians can be obtained by comprehensively considering the lead positive indicators corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead. For example, the level of concern can be determined based on the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead with a positive lead positive indicator, for example, the sum, average, or maximum value of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead with a positive lead positive indicator, or the number of positive leads with a positive lead positive indicator can be considered to determine the level of concern. However, not all examples are provided herein.
[0063] When determining the level of consideration after taking into account the number of positive inductions in which the induction positive index indicates a positive result, it is understandable that by setting multiple quantity threshold ranges in advance, the level of consideration can be determined after fully taking into account the quantity threshold range in which the number of positive inductions is located. For example, four quantity threshold intervals, from the first to fourth quantity threshold intervals, are preset, with decreasing priority of attention level. For example, if the intervals are 8 or more, 5 or more but less than 8, 3 or more but less than 5, and less than 3, respectively, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level when the number of positive leads is in the first quantity threshold interval and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is in the first area threshold interval. However, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level when the number of positive leads is in the first quantity threshold interval and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is in the second area threshold interval, or when the number of positive leads is in the second quantity threshold interval and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is in the first area threshold interval. However, not all examples are given here. The number of quantity threshold intervals and the numerical values of the corresponding intervals are merely examples and are not intended to be specific and limiting.
[0064] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region, the relative amplitude drop value, and the lead positivity index corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead are taken into consideration to comprehensively determine a level of concern that is more worthy of reference for physicians, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying cardiac health conditions. The correspondence between the combination form of each reference index and the level of concern may refer to the correspondence provided in one or more embodiments of the present application, and it is understandable that it may be omitted here. For example, the level of concern may be determined based on the area of the waveform drop region (absolute drop area and / or relative drop area) and the relative amplitude drop value of each electrocardiogram lead in which the lead positivity index is positive, or based on the area of the waveform drop region, the relative amplitude drop value, and the number of positive leads in which the lead positivity index is positive of each electrocardiogram lead.
[0065] To explain using an example, if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first amplitude threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level, but if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the second amplitude threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, but not all examples are given here.
[0066] Furthermore, for example, if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is located in the first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is located in the first amplitude threshold interval, and the number of positive leads for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first quantity threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level, but if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is located in the first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead is located in the second amplitude threshold interval, and the number of positive leads for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first quantity threshold interval, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, but not all examples are given here.
[0067] In some embodiments, a positive location applicable to evaluation of the extent or area of myocardial ischemia is determined based on the combination of each electrocardiogram lead showing a positive lead positive indicator, and a more reference-worthy level of consideration is determined based on the area of the waveform drop region of each electrocardiogram lead, the lead positive indicator, and the positive location. For example, if the electrocardiogram leads showing a positive lead positive indicator include V3, V4, and V5, it can be confirmed that at least the positive location includes the right ventricle. For the positive location, multiple predetermined locations may be set, each designated as a first predetermined location, a second predetermined location, etc., in order of decreasing priority of attention. If the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold section and the positive location is a first predetermined position, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level, and if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold section and the positive location is a second predetermined position, or if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the second area threshold section and the positive location is a first predetermined position, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level; no further examples are given.
[0068] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead, the amplitude drop relative value, the lead positive index, and the positive location determined based on the electrocardiogram lead showing a positive lead positive index are taken into consideration to obtain a more reference-worthy concern level for physician reference. The correspondence between the combination form of each reference index and the concern level may specifically refer to the correspondence provided in one or more embodiments of the present application, and will not be described here. For example, if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in a first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in a first amplitude threshold interval, and the positive location includes a first predetermined position, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level, but if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold interval, and the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value corresponding to each electrocardiogram lead for which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first amplitude threshold interval, and the positive location includes a second predetermined position, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, and not all examples are given here.
[0069] In some embodiments, a third function is used to determine the corresponding waveform type based on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, taking into account the area of the waveform drop region and the waveform type of the high-frequency QRS waveform, thereby comprehensively determining the consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data. Specifically, the third function is used to match a predetermined shape with the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, and the waveform type of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform is determined based on the degree of match. For example, a predetermined shape category whose degree of match is equal to or greater than a predetermined match threshold is determined as the waveform type of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. Alternatively, the third function is used to select fixed points representing shape changes from the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform, and the shape category of a graph formed by the fixed points in a time series is determined as the waveform type of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The predetermined match threshold and the predetermined shape may be set according to actual circumstances. For example, the predetermined match threshold is 80%, and the predetermined shapes include, but are not limited to, W, V, v (small V), U, L, and inverted N.
[0070] In some embodiments, the fixed points indicating shape changes are located at peaks and / or valleys of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The third function sequentially calculates the RMS voltage difference between two adjacent fixed points in time series, and performs a connection process on each fixed point whose RMS voltage difference is greater than a predetermined difference threshold in time series. The shape classification of the connected image is determined as the waveform type of the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The predetermined difference threshold may be determined based on the maximum value of each RMS voltage difference.
[0071] In some embodiments, waveform type is used to assess myocardial ischemia, but limitations of existing methods for determining waveform type make it difficult to accurately determine waveform type, such as the inability to clearly distinguish between V and v (small V), which are typically used to assess different myocardial ischemia states. Therefore, the waveform type can be modified based on the area of the waveform down region, taking into consideration both the area of the waveform down region and the waveform type, thereby providing a more worthy level of consideration.
[0072] In some embodiments, multiple preset categories are assigned to waveform types, and the preset category to which the waveform type belongs is comprehensively considered in terms of the area of the waveform drop region to determine a more worthy level of consideration. For example, four preset categories, from first to fourth preset categories, are assigned with decreasing priority of attention. For example, the first preset category includes at least one of U and L, the second preset category includes V, the third preset category includes at least one of W and v (small V), and the fourth preset category includes at least one of inverted N and flat. When the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform down region of each ECG lead is within the first area threshold interval and the waveform type is the first preset category, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level, but when the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform down region of each ECG lead is within the first area threshold interval and the waveform type is the second preset category, or when the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform down region of each ECG lead is within the second area threshold interval and the waveform type is the first preset category, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, although not all examples are given here. The waveform type being the second preset category indicates that the highest attention priority of the waveform type corresponding to each ECG lead is the second preset category, i.e., there is no ECG lead whose corresponding waveform type is the first preset category, but there is an ECG lead whose corresponding waveform type is the second preset category.
[0073] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region and the waveform type are taken into consideration, and at least one of the relative amplitude drop value, the positive induction index, and the positive location is also taken into consideration to obtain a more referenceable level of concern for physicians. The correspondence between the combination form of each reference index and the level of concern may refer to the correspondence provided in one or more embodiments of the present application, and it is understood that the correspondence relationship will be omitted here. For example, if the average value of the area of the waveform drop region of each electrocardiogram lead is located in the first area threshold interval, the average value of the amplitude drop relative value of each electrocardiogram lead is located in the first amplitude threshold interval, and the waveform type is the first preset category, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level.Also, for example, if the average value of the area of the waveform drop region of each electrocardiogram lead in which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold interval, the average value of the amplitude drop relative value of each electrocardiogram lead in which the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first amplitude threshold interval, and the waveform type is the first preset category, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level.Also, for example, in the above example, if the positive location is the first predetermined position, the consideration level is determined to be the first consideration level.
[0074] In some embodiments, the consideration level is determined by comprehensively considering the area of the waveform drop region, the amplitude drop relative value, the lead positivity index, the location of the positivity, and the waveform type. For example, if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region of each electrocardiogram lead showing a positive lead positivity index is located within a first area threshold interval, the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value of each electrocardiogram lead showing a positive lead positivity index is located within a first amplitude threshold interval, the location of the positivity is a first predetermined position, and the waveform type is a first preset category, the consideration level is determined. The level is determined to be the first consideration level, but if the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the area of the waveform drop region of each electrocardiogram lead where the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the first area threshold section, the average value (or sum / maximum value) of the amplitude drop relative value of each electrocardiogram lead where the lead positivity indicator is positive is located in the second amplitude threshold section, the positive location is in the first predetermined position, and the waveform type is the second pre-set category, the consideration level is determined to be the second consideration level, but not all of the combination forms of reference indicators and their corresponding consideration levels are exemplified here.
[0075] In the above embodiment, at least one of the reference indicators such as the amplitude drop relative value, lead positive index, positive location, and waveform type is comprehensively taken into consideration in the area of the waveform drop region of the high-frequency QRS waveform curve, so that a higher level of concern can be obtained that is consistent with the myocardial ischemia situation and is worthy of reference for doctors. When doctors identify the heart health status based on this more worthy level of concern and clinical symptoms, the accuracy of identifying the heart health status can be improved.
[0076] In some embodiments, the exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis method includes: obtaining a load motion detection parameter corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data; determining a correction factor based on the load motion detection parameter; and S110 includes modifying an area of a waveform drop region based on the correction factor; and determining a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data based on the modified area of the waveform drop region.
[0077] The load exercise measurement parameters are measurement parameters collected during load exercise electrocardiography, including, but not limited to, load level, total metabolic equivalent level, and the ratio of actual maximum heart rate to target heart rate. The total metabolic equivalent level refers to the total metabolic energy per unit time. The target heart rate is dynamically determined based on the subject's age, e.g., target heart rate = (220 - subject's age) x 85%.
[0078] In some embodiments, the correction factor is a function determined by each load motion detection parameter, and the correction of the area of the waveform drop region is achieved by multiplying the area of the waveform drop region calculated based on the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform by the correction factor, and the product is the area of the waveform drop region after correction.
[0079] In some embodiments, a weighted sum of each load motion detection parameter is calculated to obtain a corresponding modification coefficient, and the area of the waveform drop region is modified based on the modification coefficient. The modified area of the waveform drop region is used to determine the consideration level of exercise stress electrocardiogram data according to one or more embodiments of the present application. It is understood that the weight of each load motion detection parameter can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited.
[0080] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region after the correction is taken into consideration, and at least one of the amplitude drop relative value, lead positive index, positive location, and waveform type is taken into consideration to comprehensively determine the level of concern for exercise stress electrocardiogram data, thereby obtaining a more reference-worthy level of concern for physicians. With reference to the method provided in one or more embodiments of the present application, the area of the waveform drop region after the correction is taken into consideration, and at least one of the reference indexes such as the amplitude drop relative value, lead positive index, positive location, and waveform type may be taken into consideration comprehensively to determine the corresponding level of concern, and it can be understood that the terms omitted here.
[0081] In the above embodiment, when determining the consideration level for exercise stress electrocardiogram data, not only the area of the waveform drop region obtained based on the exercise stress electrocardiogram data analysis is taken into consideration, but also the load exercise detection parameters corresponding to the subject when the exercise stress electrocardiogram data is collected. This makes it possible to obtain a consideration level that is more useful for doctors' reference, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying cardiac health conditions.
[0082] Although the steps in the flowcharts of Figures 1 and 3 are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, it should be understood that these steps are not necessarily performed sequentially in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated otherwise herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they may be performed in other orders. Furthermore, at least some of the steps in Figures 1 and 3 may include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily performed to completion at the same time but may be performed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is also not necessarily sequential, but may be performed in order or alternating with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages in other steps.

The acquisition module 401 acquires exercise stress electrocardiogram data. The analysis module 402 analyzes high-frequency components of the QRS complex in the exercise stress electrocardiogram data to obtain a high-frequency QRS waveform curve. The selection module 403 selects a first reference point and a second reference point from the high-frequency QRS waveform curve. The evaluation index determination module 404 determines the area of a corresponding waveform drop region based on the first reference point, the second reference point, and the high-frequency QRS waveform curve. The consideration level determination module 405 determines a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data based on the area of the waveform drop region. The selection module selects the start point and end point of a motor phase from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform as a first reference point and a second reference point, respectively; alternatively, selects a candidate waveform curve from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform, and selects the point of the candidate waveform curve where the RMS voltage is maximum as the first reference point, and selects the point of the candidate waveform curve where the RMS voltage is minimum after the first reference point as the second reference point; alternatively, selects a candidate waveform curve from the curve of the high frequency QRS waveform, and selects the point of the candidate waveform curve where the RMS voltage is maximum as the first reference point, and selects the end point of a motor phase as the second reference point.
[0084] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region includes an absolute drop area. The evaluation index determination module 404 selects a curve located between a first reference point and a second reference point from the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform as a reference waveform curve, determines a reference amplitude based on the reference waveform curve, and calculates the absolute drop area using a first function based on the reference amplitude and the reference waveform curve.
[0085] In some embodiments, the area of the waveform drop region further includes a relative drop area, and the evaluation index determination module 404 calculates the reference area using a second function based on the curve of the reference waveform, and obtains the relative drop area based on the absolute drop area and the reference area.
[0086] In some embodiments, the evaluation index determination module 404 determines reference indices, including at least one of an amplitude drop relative value, a lead positive index, a positive location, and a waveform type, based on the curve of the high-frequency QRS waveform. The consideration level determination module 405 determines a consideration level corresponding to the exercise electrocardiogram data based on the area of the waveform drop region and the reference indices.
[0087] In some embodiments, the acquisition module 401 acquires weighted exercise detection parameters corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data. The evaluation index determination module 404 determines a correction coefficient based on the weighted exercise detection parameters. The consideration level determination module 405 corrects the area of the waveform drop region based on the correction coefficient, and determines a consideration level corresponding to the exercise stress electrocardiogram data based on the corrected area of the waveform drop region.
