Cardiac instrumentation apparatus with pacer diagnostics

摘要

In an EKG monitor capable of monitoring the stimulation pulse of a heart pacer, the inclusion of means for determining the polarity of the pacer pulse detected in the ECG signal and then for generating a standardized pacer pulse signal of the same polarity as detected. The apparatus further includes summing means for summing the ECG signal with the standardized pacer pulse to be included in the output of the monitor.
