Linear display of ECG signals

摘要

An illustrative method and system for displaying ECG data of a patient includes the steps of: receiving an ECG waveform of a patient, determining at least a first attribute of the ECG waveform, and determining at least one data point from the first attribute of the ECG waveform. The first data point and associated first attribute of the ECG waveform are displayed on a linear scale. In an alternative method, the at least one data point is structured in a database of ECG data according to the Cabrera sequence; the display domain of the display is divided into several recurrent display slots; and a sequential one of the several recurrent display slots is associated with the at least one data point, which is displayed on the linear scale in the order in which the at least one data point appears in the Cabrera structured database of ECG data.

1. A method for displaying ECG data of a patient, the method comprising:
a. determining, in a manner other than deviation from a patient-specific baseline, a singular data point that represents a time-domain value of the ECG data for each ECG lead of a set of ECG leads adapted for monitoring the ECG of a patient to form a data set; b. structuring the data set according to a Cabrera sequence that includes both limb leads and chest leads, to form a Cabrera structured data set; c. defining a horizontal row of several recurrent display slots in a display domain of a display, the several recurrent display slots including at least one display slot for each limb lead and each chest lead, ordered in the horizontal row according to the Cabrera sequence; d. associating a sequential one of the several recurrent display slots with each singular data point in accordance with the sequential ordering of the each singular data point in the Cabrera structured data set to form a sequentially display domain ordered Cabrera structured data set; e. displaying each singular data point in the sequentially display domain ordered Cabrera structured data set on a linear scale of the display in the order in which the data appears in the sequentially display domain ordered Cabrera structured data set as the only ECG data displayed at a time on the linear scale; and f. displaying each singular data point associated with each of the several recurrent display slots with interconnections between the displayed data points to form a single waveform across all of the recurrent display slots.
