ELECTROCARDIOGRAM ANALYSIS

Description

A computer method for facilitating the analysis of electrocardiograms (ECGs) involves receiving one or more ECG tracings acquired for a patient, each of the acquired ECG tracings representing the patient's cardiac activity detected during an acquired time period, and, for each of the one or more acquired ECG tracings: identifying a plurality of corresponding acquired ECG tracing segments, each of the acquired ECG tracing segments representing the patient's cardiac activity detected during a segment of the acquired time period. ACQUISITION TIME, AND DETERMINE A REPRESENTATIVE ECG TRACING BASED ON AT LEAST ONE OF THE CORRESPONDING IDENTIFIED ACQUIRED ECG TRACING SEGMENTS.The method involves applying at least one neural network classifier to one or more selected representative ECG tracings to determine one or more diagnostically useful values ​​in relation to at least one patient diagnosis. Other methods, systems, and computerized reading means are disclosed.
