System for Ventricular Function Abnormality Detection and Characterization

摘要

A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection includes an interface for receiving signal data representing an electrical signal indicating electrical activity of a patient heart over multiple heart beat cycles. A filter extracts first signal component data in a first selected bandwidth and first heart cycle portion of the received signal data and second signal component data in a different second selected bandwidth and second heart cycle portion of the received signal data. A signal processor uses the received signal data in calculating a ratio of a first value derived from the first signal component data to a second value derived from the second signal component data. A patient monitor in response to the calculated ratio or value derived from the calculated ratio, generates an alert message associated with the threshold.
