METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE TIME POINT OF A HEART MOVEMENT AND CORRESPONDING APPARATUS

摘要

A method for determining a time point of a heart movement is described, wherein an EKG signal showing the heart movement is received. A first time point is determined, after which a mechanical signal characterizing the heart movement will probably be received, as a function of the received EKG signal. A mechanical signal is also received after the determined first time point. The time point of a heart movement can be concluded based on the receive time point of the mechanical signal. An apparatus for determining a time point of a heart movement is also described. The apparatus has a first receive facility, a timing facility, a second receive facility, and an evaluation facility. The evaluation facility is configured to determine the receive time point of the mechanical signal and to determine a time point of a heart movement based on the determined receive time point of the mechanical signal.

1. A method for determining a time point of a heart movement, the method comprising:
receiving an EKG signal showing the heart movement; determining a first time point, after which a mechanical signal showing the heart movement will probably be received, as a function of the received EKG signal; receiving the mechanical signal after the first time point; determining a receive time point of the mechanical signal; and determining the time point of the heart movement based on the determined receive time point of the mechanical signal.
