  • Patent number: 12239448
    Abstract: Electrical impulses are received from a beating heart. The electrical impulses are converted to an ECG waveform. The ECG waveform is converted to a frequency domain waveform, which, in turn, is separated into two or more different frequency domain waveforms, which, in turn, are converted into a plurality of time domain cardiac electrophysiological subwaveforms and discontinuity points between these subwaveforms. The plurality of subwaveforms and discontinuity points are compared to a database of subwaveforms and discontinuity points for normal and abnormal patients or to a set of rules developed from the database. A bundle branches (BB) to J-Point (BB-J) interval is identified from the plurality of subwaveforms and discontinuity points based on the comparison. The ECG waveform with the BB-J interval annotated is displayed.
