Arrhythmia diagnosis method and device

摘要

Disclosed is an arrhythmia-diagnosing method and device for diagnosing arrhythmias, such as fibrillation or tachycardia. The arrhythmia-diagnosing method includes the following steps: measuring (a) the heart characteristic length, and the (b) frequency and (c) conduction velocity of the cardiac electrical wave; and (d) determining the occurrence or absence of an arrhythmia by using the three parameters measured in steps (a) to (c). With this invention, it is possible to predict and diagnose an electrical wave tornado, one of the causes of arrhythmia, by using a non-dimensional parameter, to identify patients at risk of death or brain death due to an arrhythmia and to reduce the mortality of patients suffering from arrhythmias significantly.

主权项

1. A noninvasive arrhythmia-diagnosing method, comprising the steps of:
(a) measuring a heart characteristic length; (b) measuring a frequency of the cardiac electrical wave; (c) measuring a conduction velocity of a cardiac electrical wave via an echocardiograph or an electrocardiograph; and (d) determining an occurrence or absence of arrhythmia using the heart characteristic length, the frequency, and the conduction velocity measured in the steps (a) to (c).
