Abstract: A method of analyzing the electrocardiogram (“ECG”) using a set of vectors mathematically derived from the heart vector. The entire ECG waveform of one representative heartbeat is analyzed as a time series of vectors taken at selected time intervals. The vector set consists of the heart vector, the vector of deviation, vector of abnormality, delta vector, the delta vector deviation, and the delta vector abnormality. The analysis system can be applied to two or any greater number of ECG leads represented on planar axes, orthogonal spatial axes, or four or more axes in multidimensional space. The normal range of the ECG in this method is delineated by an adaptive multi-dimensional polyhedron in space to which the unknown ECG is compared. This is accomplished by utilizing a computer platform and the software program to support the required mathematical calculations.
